Patient's question:
I am a 53-year-old woman. Three months ago, a thorough examination revealed a tendency to develop uterine fibroids. I am particularly concerned about the potential negative impact on my health. I would like to ask what kind of uterine fibroids require surgery.Doctor's answer:
Surgical treatment for uterine fibroids is recommended when the size of the fibroids reaches 5 cm. Such fibroids require early surgical intervention and should not be delayed. The longer the delay, the more harmful it is to health. Active health maintenance is a responsible attitude towards the body. At the same time, avoid spicy foods, eat more vegetables and fruits, and maintain a light diet. Everyone must understand this. Different causes lead to different symptoms. Patients need to seek systematic and standardized examinations at reputable Grade III-A hospitals as soon as possible based on their specific conditions to receive targeted treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain regular routines, take precautions against cold and keep warm, and consume light, soft, and easily digestible foods in their daily diet.
