Patient's question:
My aunt was carefully examined last week and found to have uterine fibroids, and her anemia is also quite severe. Is surgery required for uterine fibroids?Doctor's answer:
General treatment for uterine fibroids often does not yield good results with medication. Most often, surgical treatment is decided upon, but not all cases require surgery. Generally, surgery is recommended when the fibroid is larger than 5 cm, and if it is smaller than 5 cm, surgery is not necessary. The specific treatment plan should be chosen based on your examination results. It is recommended to undergo a thorough examination at a reputable hospital and then develop an appropriate treatment plan. Patients should receive systematic and standardized examinations at a reputable tertiary hospital as soon as possible based on their condition to ensure timely and effective treatment for a quicker recovery.
