Patient's question:
A woman is 37 years old and has uterine fibroids. She has been experiencing bleeding below for the past two months. Initially, she didn't take it too seriously, but now after taking many topical medications, the bleeding has stopped. She is experiencing mild abdominal pain. She wants to know if her uterine fibroids, measuring 19x17, require surgery.Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you mentioned, this tumor is relatively small. If it is not more than 5 cm, surgery is generally not recommended. Just monitor it carefully on an irregular basis. Moreover, uterine fibroids that do not cause symptoms usually do not require surgery. For women who have already reached menopause, most fibroids tend to expand or gradually disappear after menopause. Follow up every 3 to 6 months is sufficient. There are many treatment methods for diseases, but since the patient's condition is different, the treatment method should also be different. Therefore, patients need to go to a professional institution for detailed testing as soon as possible to prescribe the right medicine.
