Patient's question:
I am 34 years old this year. During my physical examination, the doctor told me that I might need to have a detailed gynecological examination, mainly focusing on the uterus. Please ask: How big is a uterine fibroid considered serious?Doctor's answer:
In fact, the current international consensus holds that uterine fibroids can be carefully monitored if they show no symptoms. However, some patients may experience symptoms such as lower abdominal discomfort when the fibroids grow too large, or when they grow rapidly. In such cases, surgical treatment is still recommended. For larger fibroids, such as those over 5 centimeters in size, or symptomatic fibroids, surgical treatment is often more appropriate.
