Patient's question:
57-year-old female feels relatively tired recently. She has noticed a sense of unwellness in her body and wonders if it could be this disease. Please ask: Is surgery required for a 7.8 cm uterine fibroid?Doctor's answer:
As a common tumor condition among women, uterine fibroids require attention from everyone. Based on the size of the fibroids, it needs to be determined whether surgery is necessary. Typically, fibroids larger than 5 cm require surgery, and if they exceed 7.8 cm, it indicates that the fibroids are already quite severe and cannot be delayed any longer. In severe cases, it may even affect the health of the uterus, and removing the uterus is not an extreme option. Do not feel any psychological pressure, maintain a cheerful mood, and pay attention to getting plenty of rest during this period. Additionally, maintain a light diet, avoiding greasy and spicy foods, which will benefit both you and the fetus.
