Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I also feel extremely cold and afraid of the cold. Please tell me if a 9 cm uterine fibroid definitely requires surgery?Doctor's answer:
A 9-centimeter uterine fibroid is already considered a very large one. If the fibroid is smaller than 5 centimeters, it already meets the criteria for surgery. In this case, it is necessary to have surgery as soon as possible. Leaving it untreated is meaningless, and there is also a possibility of it becoming malignant. It is essential to consider having the surgery performed at a large, top-tier hospital in your local area. The recurrence of uterine fibroids poses a serious threat to women's health. Patients must avoid sexual activity during treatment and pay attention to personal hygiene. Finally, we hope that female patients can receive proper treatment.
