Patient's question:
I am a 36-year-old woman who has been experiencing discomfort recently. The discomfort has gradually worsened over time. I would like to ask: How large can a uterine fibroid be to undergo minimally invasive surgery?Doctor's answer:
Uterine fibroids are generally considered for surgical treatment if they are larger than 5 cm, while those smaller than 8 cm can be treated with minimally invasive surgery. However, this minimally invasive surgery must wait for one month after medication abortion before it can be performed. In your current condition, you can undergo minimally invasive surgery for uterine fibroids after the full moon, and it can be performed simultaneously with tubal ligation.Then, the patient needs to maintain a disciplined diet, follow a regular routine, and regulate physical and mental health. In daily life, it is important to keep a positive mood, eat more light, soft, and liquid foods, drink plenty of water, and consume more vegetables and fruits.
