Patient's question:
My mother is 59 years old this year. She has been looking pale recently and hasn't been eating well. I'm very worried. Could you please tell me what the treatment options are for multiple uterine fibroids?Doctor's answer:
The hazards of multiple uterine fibroids are primarily related to the size of the tumors. When multiple uterine fibroids grow to the size of a fist, they can compress other organs in the pelvic cavity, leading to symptoms such as frequent urination, difficulty urinating, or constipation. If a pedicle inversion or other complications occur, pain may be induced. Generally, uterine fibroids smaller than 5.0 cm require surgery, but the specific treatment plan must be determined based on individual age, clinical presentation, and endocrine status.
