Patient's question:
My mother is 60 years old this year. She has been looking pale recently and hasn't been eating well. I'm very worried. Please ask: How is it treated when the uterine fibroid is large?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 the individual's age, clinical presentation, and endocrine status. However, if the size of the uterine fibroid is 3 cm or larger and it has a rich blood supply, surgery should be performed as soon as possible. The treatment of uterine fibroids generally considers the patient's age, fertility status, the size of the fibroid, and the severity of symptoms. For younger patients with fertility recommendations and fibroids that are not too large, medication treatment can be considered. If the fibroid is larger and the symptoms are more severe, minimally invasive surgery can be a viable option.
