Patient's question:
My uterine fibroid has been detected for 6 years, prone to occur. Now I am hospitalized for treatment, and surgery has not been performed yet. The doctor suggested that the uterus could be removed, but friends around me have all sorts of opinions. What is the general cost of a uterine fibroid surgery?Doctor's answer:
Hello, if the uterine fibroid is less than five centimeters and causes heavy menstrual bleeding during menstruation, surgical treatment may be required. If there are no symptoms, careful observation can be performed. For those with obvious symptoms and a possibility of malignant transformation, it is recommended to avoid pregnancy and consider a hysterectomy. A hysterectomy can be performed as a total or subtotal hysterectomy. For older patients, a total hysterectomy is generally preferred. Uterine fibroids are a common gynecological disease, and during treatment, women need to pay attention to their own care, especially in terms of nursing. It is advised that patients avoid sexual activity during treatment and maintain good hygiene. Wishing female patients a speedy recovery.
