Patient's question:
A woman is 33 years old this year, 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. She wants to know if surgery is necessary if a submucosal uterine fibroid of 5 cm is detected.Doctor's answer:
In your case, the uterine fibroid is already quite large. If it is solitary and not adhered to the uterus, it may be possible to preserve the uterus. However, if the adhesion is severe and the fibroid cannot be removed, or if there is severe anemia and suspicion of malignancy, it may be better to perform a hysterectomy. So, it really depends on the specific situation.There are many treatment methods for diseases, but since the patient's condition varies, the treatment approach also differs. Therefore, it is necessary for the patient to seek professional medical evaluation as soon as possible for detailed testing so that the appropriate treatment can be administered.
