Patient's question:
Female, 31 years old, my uterine fibroids have been detected for 6 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 me have all sorts of opinions. How is uterine fibroid treatment best?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if uterine fibroids are detected due to symptoms, surgery may be necessary. However, if the fibroids are relatively small, it may be possible to carefully monitor their growth or use medication to control it. As age increases and estrogen levels rise, the fibroids may also shrink. But if there is a reduction in size or other symptoms, it is recommended to consider surgical treatment at an earlier stage.
