Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially around my period days. I'm very worried it might affect fertility, and I also feel extremely cold and fear the cold. Please advise if a 9 cm uterine fibroid definitely requires surgery?Doctor's answer:
A 9-cm uterine fibroid is already considered a very large one. If the fibroid is smaller than 5 cm, it already meets the surgical indication. In this case, it is recommended to have surgery as soon as possible. Leaving it untreated is meaningless, and there is also the possibility of it becoming malignant. It is advised to consider undergoing surgery at a large, top-tier Grade 3A hospital in your local area to resolve the issue.Uterine fibroids are a common gynecological condition. During medication, women need to pay attention to their self-care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients pay close attention to vaginal hygiene and maintain a light diet as the foundation. Finally, we wish female patients a speedy recovery!
