Patient's question:
Female, 31 years old, my uterine fibroid has been discovered for 12 years, prone to occur. Currently hospitalized for treatment, and surgery has not been performed yet. The doctor suggested that the uterus could be removed, but friends around me have all sorts of opinions. How big do uterine fibroids generally need to be before surgery is required?Doctor's answer:
Patients with uterine fibroids who have no symptoms generally do not need treatment, especially for women approaching menopause. After menopause, the tumors usually expand or gradually disappear. However, it is necessary to go to the hospital for regular follow-up examinations to prevent the tumors from growing too quickly. Different causes can 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 ensure appropriate treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain a regular schedule, take precautions against cold and keep warm, and consume light, soft, and easily digestible foods in their daily diet.
