Patient's question:
A 25-year-old woman felt unwell for a while and went to the hospital for a check-up. She was diagnosed with uterine fibroids, and her family was terrified. So, how should it be treated? How effective is the treatment for uterine fibroids?Doctor's answer:
The treatment for uterine fibroids should be decided based on specific circumstances. Generally, it is advisable to wait for at least one year after the disease appears before treating it. Open abdominal myomectomy is an effective method that can remove most, if not all, of the fibroids. Another option is laparoscopic treatment, which is determined by the location of the fibroids within the uterus. However, for small fibroids, it is easy to miss them with this method.
