How to treat benign uterine fibroids? Nursing methods for patients with benign uterine fibroids

As one of the most common benign tumors, uterine fibroids have a high incidence rate. It is reported that about 20% of women over 35 years old suffer from this disease, and it is most common in those aged 40-50 and under 20 years old. How to treat benign uterine fibroids? Generally used for small fibroids (<3cm), if there are no symptoms, they can be checked again every 3-6 months. B-ultrasound clinically shows that fibroids of 5CM in size are generally an indication for surgery. But there are also people who want to have children, and generally 3CM in size will also be used as an indication for surgery.

The treatment methods for uterine fibroids are usually: 1. Surgical treatment: Surgical treatment is to completely remove the fibroids in the uterus, so that the patient can recover quickly and reduce the harm of the disease to their health. However, surgical treatment can usually be performed for patients who do not have fertility requirements.

2. Drug diagnosis and treatment: For patients with severe conditions, drug diagnosis and treatment can only be a temporary treatment, not a permanent treatment, and cannot completely cure uterine fibroids. Because the drug contains hormones, long-term use will not improve the condition. This method is still suitable for patients with milder conditions. Drug diagnosis and treatment is a method of treating uterine fibroids.

3. Minimally invasive surgical treatment: usually laparoscopic treatment, which makes up for the deficiencies of traditional Chinese medicine and surgical treatment, and can enable patients to recover their health as soon as possible. The risk of surgical treatment is relatively reduced, because minimally invasive surgery has very small wounds, which can satisfy women's cosmetic psychology.

In daily life, patients with uterine fibroids should pay attention to: (1) prevent excessive fatigue and pay special attention to rest during menstruation;

(2) Eat more vegetables and fruits and less spicy food;

(3) Keep the vulva clean and dry, and wear loose underwear. If there is too much vaginal discharge, wash the vulva at any time;

(4) After being diagnosed with uterine fibroids, the patient should go to the hospital for a checkup once a month. If the fibroids grow slowly or not at all, the patient can be checked again every six months. If the fibroids grow significantly, surgical treatment should be considered to avoid severe bleeding or compression of abdominal organs.

(5) Avoid getting pregnant again. Women with uterine fibroids have poor uterine recovery after artificial abortion, which often causes prolonged bleeding or chronic genital inflammation.

(6) Do not take too much estrogen, and pay special attention after menopause to prevent the growth of uterine fibroids.
