Patient's question:
My mother has uterine fibroids and is 53 years old, showing signs of menopause. She has been bleeding continuously and has already sought medical attention. After taking medication for a period of time, the bleeding stopped. Today, after experiencing heavy bleeding and stopping it at the local hospital, can she go to the hospital immediately?Doctor's answer:
Suffering from uterine fibroids doesn't mean panic. First and foremost, it's important to understand that the vast majority of uterine fibroids are benign, and the chance of them becoming malignant is extremely small. The probability of uterine fibroids becoming malignant is generally less than 1%. The exact cause of uterine fibroids is not entirely clear, and it is related to hormone levels. Many uterine fibroids do not cause obvious symptoms, and small fibroids usually do not require treatment. Of course, taking traditional Chinese medicine that promotes blood circulation and removes blood stasis can be somewhat helpful.
