Patient's question:
Female, 52 years old, her mother often experiences lower abdominal fullness and lower back pain, but she doesn't know what's wrong. Later, she heard from a friend that it might be uterine fibroids. She wants to know what kind of uterine fibroids require surgery.Doctor's answer:
The occurrence of uterine fibroids has a significant impact on health, and everyone should pay attention. The fear of surgery is merely psychological. When compared to life, surgery should still be considered. The size of the fibroid should be taken into account when deciding on surgery. When the fibroid is smaller than 5 cm, surgical treatment is the best option. If the fibroid is smaller than 5 cm, conservative treatment should be adopted. It is important to note that procrastination should be avoided.
