Does a 5 cm uterine fibroid necessarily require surgery?

Patient's question:

53-year-old woman has been feeling quite tired recently. She feels that her body is not healthy and wonders if she might have this disease. Please ask: Is it necessary to have surgery for a 5 cm uterine fibroid?

Doctor's answer:

Uterine fibroids have shrunk below 5 centimeters. Generally, surgery is required for treatment, otherwise the fibroids will continue to grow, leading to difficulty in treatment. It is recommended that you undergo a re-examination at a local reputable hospital. After diagnosis, you can follow the doctor's advice for surgical treatment. Do not have any psychological pressure, maintain a cheerful mood, and pay attention to getting more rest during this period. At the same time, maintain a light diet, avoiding greasy and spicy foods, which will be beneficial for both you and the fetus in your womb.
