Under what circumstances does a uterine fibroid require surgery?

Patient's question:

Last week, our unit organized a gynecological examination, and I found uterine fibroids. Now the doctor recommends that I go to the hospital for further and more detailed examination. I heard from colleagues that uterine fibroids require surgery. So I would like to ask the doctor under what circumstances uterine fibroids need to be surgically treated?

Doctor's answer:

If the uterine fibroid is relatively large or severe complications reappear, it is generally recommended to undergo surgery for treatment. First, pay close attention to rest and observe whether there are symptoms such as abdominal pain or excessive menstrual bleeding. Eat more foods that boost qi and regulate menstruation. If the condition is not well-maintained, it may lead to infection. Avoid spicy foods in daily life, and actively enhance nutrition, which will be helpful.
Uterine fibroids are a gynecological disease prone to recurrence. During treatment, women need to pay attention to their own care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients pay close attention to vaginal hygiene and maintain a light diet as the foundation.
