Patient's question:
I am a 39-year-old woman with poor mental state. I feel sick. After checking, I found out which disease it is. Please ask: What are the treatment options for uterine fibroids?Doctor's answer:
Generally, uterine fibroids smaller than 5.0 cm do not require surgery, but the specific treatment plan must be confirmed based on the individual's age, clinical presentation, and endocrine status. However, if the size of the uterine fibroid is 3 cm or larger and it has abundant blood supply, surgery should be performed as soon as possible. The treatment of uterine fibroids generally considers the patient's age, fertility status, fibroid size, and the severity of symptoms. For younger patients with fertility recommendations and smaller fibroids, medication treatment can be considered. If the fibroid is larger and the symptoms are more severe, minimally invasive surgery can be a viable option.
