Patient's question:
Doctor, I am already 50 years old this year, and I have gone through menopause. Today, I had a thorough examination at the hospital and found that I have uterine fibroids. The doctor recommended conservative treatment, considering my age. How should uterine fibroids be treated after menopause?Doctor's answer:
For uterine fibroids after menopause, if they do not affect menstruation and the fibroids are not particularly large, treatment is generally not required. As the uterus gradually shrinks, the fibroids will also gradually decrease in size. If the fibroids are relatively large, exceeding 5.0 cm, and cause significant symptoms, combined with the fact that you are already menopausal, it is generally recommended to consider a hysterectomy. However, if the fibroids are not very large and you are already menopausal, conservative treatment under the guidance of a doctor can be adopted. Specific treatment should follow the advice of local doctors.
