Patient's question:
I found out about the uterine fibroid during a physical check-up at the company. It wasn't very big at the time, but after another check-up, it had grown a bit. I'm not sure whether I should have surgery or not. I don't have any symptoms or discomfort at all, and I don't know why I would get this condition.Doctor's answer:
Hello, uterine fibroids are generally related to excessively high estrogen levels in the body and long-term stimulation by estrogen. They are common benign tumors of the reproductive system, primarily causing symptoms such as abnormal vaginal bleeding, abdominal masses, and dysmenorrhea. Medication is not very effective and cannot cure the condition. Currently, you can consider using Guizhi Fuling capsules for treatment. If there are no symptoms or the fibroid is small in size, regular follow-up examinations can be scheduled, and surgical treatment may be necessary if needed. It is recommended to maintain a positive mood and avoid spicy, irritating, and hair-inducing foods.
