Patient's question:
I am 45 years old. Three months ago, a thorough examination revealed a tendency to develop uterine fibroids. I am particularly concerned about the negative impact on my health. I would like to ask how to treat uterine fibroids effectively?Doctor's answer:
Hello. In medicine, for small uterine fibroids (<3cm), if there are no symptoms, careful observation and close follow-up can be adopted, with B-ultrasound re-examinations every 3-6 months. Clinical diagnosis generally considers a fibroid of 5cm as a surgical indication. However, for those who want to conceive, a fibroid of 3cm may also be considered a surgical indication. If the bleeding is not excessive, surgery may not be necessary, as it usually resolves after menopause. If the fibroid is large and causes frequent heavy bleeding, surgery should be considered, as medication can easily trigger recurrence. The recurrence of uterine fibroids severely affects women's health, and patients need to pay attention to maintaining external genital hygiene and avoiding sexual activity in daily life. It is hoped that female patients can receive standardized treatment.
