Patient's question:
Female, 43 years old, with a 6 cm uterine fibroid, can she undergo embolization?Doctor's answer:
Hello, a 6 cm uterine fibroid can also be treated with uterine fibroid embolization. Uterine fibroid embolization is a minimally invasive interventional procedure with a higher risk of complications compared to traditional myomectomy. Indications include solitary or easily accessible fibroids, large volume, and postoperative complications. It is also suitable for women who wish to avoid surgical trauma, those at high surgical risk, women of any age who wish to preserve their uterus, and unmarried virgins with fibroids. In fact, having a uterine fibroid is not something to be afraid of. Patients should believe that they can overcome the disease. As long as timely treatment is given in the early stages, the chances of controlling the condition and recovering are very high.
