Patient's question:
1st day of menstruation started, lasted for 15 days, and it wasn't normal from the 1st to around the 8th either. Only a little bit each day, and it took a week for it to become normal. Starting from the 31st of last month, this phenomenon has returned again. It's been 3 days now, and it's still only a little bit. What should I do? I'm very anxious. Thank you!Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition: The treatment of uterine fibroids requires a comprehensive consideration based on factors such as age, fertility requirements, symptoms, and the size of the tumor. If the tumor is small and asymptomatic, no treatment is necessary. However, if the tumor is larger than 2.5 months of gestational size or if symptoms are significant and lead to anemia, surgical treatment is required. For patients with mild symptoms who are nearing menopause, medical treatment such as testosterone propionate, tamoxifen, or traditional Chinese medicine formulations like Guizhi Fuling capsules can be administered, which is scientifically justified.Recommendation: If your condition involves significant menstrual irregularities or complications such as anemia, it is advisable to undergo surgery as early as possible. Uterine fibroids cannot be eliminated without surgery, and menstrual irregularities may persist. Additionally, there is a risk of anemia. Therefore, surgery is necessary in this case.
