Uterine fibroids examination

Uterine fibroids examination

If you want to check the size, location and degeneration of uterine fibroids, you can do a B-ultrasound examination. B-ultrasound examination is the most commonly used examination method to distinguish uterine fibroids from other pelvic masses. You can also perform an MRI to accurately determine the size, number and location of uterine fibroids. If you are not sure whether it is a submucosal uterine fibroid or an intramural uterine fibroid, you can perform a hysteroscopy or hysterosalpingography. If the uterine fibroids are still relatively small and usually have no abnormal symptoms, a B-ultrasound examination is usually performed every 3 to 6 months. If it is a larger uterine fibroid, it has caused menstrual changes, leading to secondary anemia or compression symptoms that require surgical treatment.

What to do if uterine fibroids are 3-4 cm

If a B-ultrasound examination finds that the uterine fibroids are 3 to 4 cm, there are usually no uncomfortable symptoms and you can temporarily not treat them. You can also take some Chinese medicine to regulate it, such as Guizhi Fuling Capsule or Gongliu. During the B-ultrasound reexamination, if the uterine fibroids are found to be enlarged or obviously uncomfortable, some gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogues can be appropriately used, such as injection of leuprorelin or goserelin. If it is a submucosal uterine fibroid, it may first affect menstruation, and may also cause infertility or miscarriage, requiring surgical treatment.

Can people with uterine fibroids eat yam?

Yam has high nutritional value. It contains a lot of protein, minerals, vitamins and amino acids, which can strengthen the spleen, help digestion and enhance appetite. At the same time, it also has the effect of nourishing the kidney and replenishing essence. Women who eat yam properly can enhance their resistance and lower blood sugar. Uterine fibroids can also eat yam, which generally does not affect the growth rate of uterine fibroids. Uterine fibroids should be careful to avoid eating foods containing a lot of estrogen. The appropriate treatment plan for uterine fibroids should be selected according to the doctor's advice, and the size of the uterine fibroids should be checked regularly.
