Patient's question:
Do I need surgery for a uterine fibroid measuring 48mm x 50mm? I went to Fuxing Hospital yesterday. I heard from others that taking traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) can also help. I want to ask if taking TCM can shrink it. Do I need surgery for a uterine fibroid measuring 55x48mm?Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to the issue you mentioned above, your uterine fibroid has reached the stage where surgery is necessary. You are currently 31 years old, and spontaneous shrinkage is impossible. Traditional Chinese medicine cannot eliminate it either, because uterine fibroids are hormone-dependent diseases and are benign tumors. It is recommended to undergo a laparoscopic surgery at a standard third-class, grade-A hospital, as it has minimal trauma and a good prognosis.
