Patient's question:
Female, 51 years old, her mother often experiences lower abdominal fullness and lower back pain. She doesn't know what's wrong with her. Later, she heard from a friend that it might be uterine fibroids. She wants to know how big a uterine fibroid needs to be for surgery.Doctor's answer:
The occurrence of uterine fibroids can have a significant impact on women's health. Surgery is a method that many people choose to adopt, and the basis for this decision depends on the size of the fibroid. If the fibroid is 5cm, surgery is better as it can better prevent the occurrence of uterine fibroids. If it is less than 5cm, conservative treatment is preferred. Unless absolutely necessary, do not undergo a hysterectomy, as such an action would cause greater harm to the body.
