What to do if uterine fibroids cause severe anemia

What should I do if I have severe anemia due to uterine fibroids?

Women with severe anemia caused by uterine fibroids should be treated promptly and effectively. Uterine fibroids that cause severe anemia are relatively large and require surgical removal. During this period, medication and diet therapy can also be used to speed up the body's recovery.

1. Surgical removal of the tumor: Uterine fibroids that cause severe anemia are large in size, so they need to be treated promptly through surgery. Surgical removal of tumor tissue can fundamentally solve the cause of anemia, so it is also an important way to prevent and control moderate anemia. In specific surgical treatments, patients should choose surgical methods according to their actual conditions. At present, commonly used surgical methods in clinical practice include laparoscopic minimally invasive surgery and traditional laparotomy. Generally speaking, patients with very large tumors will use laparotomy for resection.

2. Drug treatment of severe anemia caused by uterine fibroids: Patients with severe anemia need to use blood-tonifying drugs for treatment. In addition to iron preparations, patients can also take Chinese medicines such as ginseng, donkey-hide gelatin, angelica, Rehmannia root, Polygonum multiflorum, and longan meat for treatment. However, the properties of these drugs are also different, and patients must be guided by experienced doctors. Before and after the operation, you can also take some Chinese medicines that regulate endocrine and treat uterine fibroids to obtain better treatment effects.

3. Treat severe anemia caused by uterine fibroids through food: Since patients with severe anemia caused by uterine fibroids cannot lack food help in the treatment, they should usually ensure adequate nutrition of the body, especially eat more foods rich in iron and blood, such as animal offal, lean meat, fungi, kelp, dates, black chicken, wolfberry, black beans, brown sugar and other foods.

When this disease occurs, do not have too much mental stress, but pay attention to maintaining a good mental state so that you can better cooperate with the doctor for treatment to promote physical improvement as soon as possible.
