How is uterine fibroid generally treated

Patient's question:

My wife is 48 years old. She was diagnosed with uterine fibroids a year ago. The doctor said that surgery is not necessary, and they will naturally shrink as she ages and approaches menopause. Currently, her menstrual flow is not smooth before and after her period (7-8 days), but her periods are otherwise normal. What kind of treatment is recommended?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, according to your description, women with uterine fibroids should avoid foods high in estrogen in their daily diet, such as: soybeans, soybean products, black rice, wheat, etc. Commonly used medications for treatment include Guizhi Fuling capsules, Gongtuo Xiao, Bai Xiao Dan, and similar products. For fibroids of about 5 cm in size, surgical treatment is generally recommended. Avoid sexual activity during the treatment period. Pay close attention to local hygiene.
