Patient's question:
Hello, can I avoid surgery for a 70mm uterine fibroid? Can medication control it? Is a 70mm uterine fibroid serious?Doctor's answer:
Uterine fibroids over nine centimeters in size should be a surgical indication. If they do not affect menstruation, they can also be monitored regularly, as they have a certain rate of malignancy. A cervical thin prep cytology test should also be performed, along with an HPV test to rule out malignant lesions. Uterine fibroids may shrink after menopause. Therefore, an annual follow-up is necessary. If any abnormal conditions are detected, a total hysterectomy should be performed promptly.
