How should treatment be carried out after suffering from uterine fibroids?

Patient's question:

My uterine fibroids have grown after the ultrasound. How should I treat them? Will removing my uterus be the same as being a man? Will I lose sexual life with my husband? Please; how should I treat after suffering from uterine fibroids?

Doctor's answer:

Generally, uterine fibroids smaller than 5.0 cm do not require surgery, but the specific treatment plan must 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.
Recommendation: If the uterine fibroid is multiple and there are three or fewer in number, with the largest being under 5 cm, surgical treatment can be considered. The recurrence of uterine fibroids severely affects women's health, and patients must avoid sexual activity during the treatment period and pay attention to personal hygiene. Finally, it is hoped that female patients can receive standardized treatment.
