Patient's question:
Female, 31 years old, my uterine fibroid has been discovered for 9 years, prone to occur. Currently hospitalized for treatment, and surgery has not been performed yet. The doctor suggested that the uterus could be removed, but friends around have all kinds of opinions. With uterine fibroids, surgery is required depending on the size.Doctor's answer:
A patient's uterine fibroid is generally considered for surgery only if it is larger than five centimeters. Sometimes, submucosal fibroids, though not large, can cause heavy menstrual bleeding, affect the constitution, and lead to anemia, requiring surgery. Based on your current fibroid size, surgery is completely unnecessary. At forty-two days postpartum, the uterus is larger than normal. As the uterus continues to recover postpartum, the fibroid will likely be smaller three months later. Uterine fibroids are benign tumors, and regular follow-up is sufficient.
