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'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. Could you please tell me if a uterine fibroid of about 9 cm in size must be surgically removed?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 criteria.Guidance suggestion: In this case, it is recommended to have surgery as soon as possible. Leaving it untreated is meaningless, and there is also a possibility of it becoming malignant. It is advised to consider undergoing surgery at a local large, top-tier Grade III hospital to resolve the issue.
Uterine fibroids are a common gynecological condition. During medication, women need to pay attention to self-care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients avoid sexual activity during the recovery period and maintain cleanliness. Finally, we wish female patients a speedy recovery!
