Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried it might affect my fertility, and I also feel extremely cold and afraid of the cold. Could you please tell me if a uterine fibroid of about 9 cm in size must be surgically removed?Doctor's answer:
A uterine fibroid of nine centimeters is already considered a very large fibroid. If the fibroid is smaller than five centimeters, it already meets the criteria for surgery. In this case, it is recommended to have surgery as soon as possible. Leaving it untreated has no meaning and there is also the possibility of it becoming malignant. In addition to receiving standard treatment for uterine fibroids, patients should also pay attention to their diet, such as eating a balanced diet and maintaining a positive mood. At the same time, patients should also pay attention to choosing a reputable hospital for treatment to ensure a good therapeutic outcome.
