Do I need surgery for a 2 cm uterine fibroid?

Patient's question:

A woman is 41 years old this year. After a thorough examination revealed uterine fibroids, she has been undergoing medication treatment. However, during a follow-up examination, it was found that the tumor had grown. I would like to know if a 2 cm uterine fibroid requires surgery.

Doctor's answer:

If there are no obvious symptoms, conservative treatment or traditional Chinese medicine treatment can be adopted. Timely follow-up examinations should be conducted to prevent the worsening of uterine fibroids. If the uterine fibroid is large and has compressed surrounding structures, surgical treatment is necessary. There are many methods for treating diseases, but since the patient's condition varies, the treatment methods will also differ. Therefore, patients need to seek professional help for detailed examinations as soon as possible to prescribe the correct treatment.
