Patient's question:
Female, 21 years old. My daughter has no sexual life, and I am also quite attentive to her hygiene. However, recently the young girl has been feeling itchy in her external genital area, and her studies have been affected. She is very troubled. Please ask: Is surgery necessary for uterine fibroids?Doctor's answer:
Generally, uterine fibroids smaller than 5.0 cm do not require surgery, but the specific treatment plan must be confirmed based on the individual's age, clinical manifestations, and endocrine status. However, if the size of the uterine fibroid is 3 cm or larger and it has abundant blood supply, surgery should be performed as soon as possible. Additionally, patients need to maintain a regular schedule, take precautions against cold and keep warm, eat light and soft foods, ensure good ventilation, and drink plenty of hot water to prevent the condition from recurring.
