Patient's question:
My mother is 51 years old this year. She has been looking pale recently and hasn't been eating well. I'm very worried. Please ask: What are the treatments for uterine fibroids?Doctor's answer:
Uterine fibroids smaller than 5.0 cm require surgery, but the specific treatment plan needs to be confirmed based on individual age, clinical manifestations, and endocrine status. However, if the size of the uterine fibroid is 3 cm or larger and it has rich blood supply, surgery should be performed as soon as possible. The treatment of uterine fibroids generally considers the patient's age, fertility status, fibroid size, and the severity of symptoms. For younger patients with fertility recommendations and smaller fibroids, medication treatment can be considered. If the fibroid is larger and the symptoms are more severe, minimally invasive surgery can be considered.
