Patient's question:
My mother is 69 years old this year. She has been looking pale recently and hasn't been eating well. I'm very worried. Could you please tell me how to treat multiple uterine fibroids effectively?Doctor's answer:
Generally, uterine fibroids smaller than 5.0 cm do not require surgery, but the specific treatment plan needs to be confirmed based on individual age, clinical presentation, and endocrine status. However, if the size of the uterine fibroid is 3 cm or larger and has abundant blood supply, surgery should be performed as soon as possible. If there are multiple uterine fibroids, typically fewer than 3 in number with the largest being under 5 cm, surgical treatment can be considered.
