Patient's question:
A woman is 28 years old, and her health has not been particularly good in recent years. Especially recently, she often experiences abdominal pain during her menstrual period, and even some lumps can be felt in her abdomen again. She wants to know if a 4.7 cm uterine fibroid requires surgery.Doctor's answer:
Uterine fibroids, although they are tumors, are benign tumors, so there is no need to worry too much. Generally, they tend to resolve on their own after menopause. The time until menopause is more than ten years. Currently, the symptoms of uterine fibroids are quite noticeable, with abdominal pain, and the fibroids are also relatively large. In your current condition, you can consider laparoscopic or hysteroscopic methods to treat your uterine fibroids through a surgical removal procedure.
