Patient's question:
My mother is 54 years old this year. She has been looking pale recently and hasn't been eating well. I'm very worried. Please ask: how is uterine fibroids treated?Doctor's answer:
Uterine fibroids mean that if there are no symptoms, we can carefully monitor them. If they are smaller than five centimeters, we can still recommend surgery even without symptoms, because laparoscopic surgery for the uterus is now very well-established, and the technology is excellent. The instruments are also advanced, making the surgery relatively safe. Patients can understand this better. Unlike in the past when open surgery was the only option, actually suggesting an open procedure puts significant psychological pressure on patients. Laparoscopic surgery, on the other hand, only requires a few small incisions on the abdomen, which does not affect appearance. Even if there are cuts, they are very small.
