Patient's question:
I am 45 years old. In 2002, a check-up revealed a 1.8 cm fibroid on the anterior wall of the uterus, which has been present for 3 years. I undergo a gynecological examination every year, and there has been no significant development. It's just that sometimes during my period, my abdomen hurts a bit, and my menstrual flow is not heavy—it stops after three days. The gynecologist here said it's nothing to worry about and that as long as I have regular check-ups, it will be fine once I go through menopause. However, I have discovered that I am now about 40 days pregnant and want to carry the child to term. I am wondering if it is safe to do so. My body is still doing well, but I have been experiencing some white discharge lately without any other discomfort.Doctor's answer:
Hello, uterine fibroids require surgical treatment. Meals should be regular and in moderation, avoiding overeating; adhere to a low-fat diet, consuming more lean meat, eggs, green vegetables, fruits, etc.; eat more coarse grains like corn, beans, etc.; frequently consume nutritious dry fruits such as peanuts, sesame seeds, and sunflower seeds.
