Patient's question:
I am 50 years old this year, and I often have stomach pain. The hospital did a thorough examination and said I have uterine fibroids. Do I need surgery for a 2.5 cm uterine fibroid?Doctor's answer:
You currently do not have uterine fibroids that have reached 5 cm, and generally, surgery is not required for this size. Moreover, since you are already 50 years old and have just passed menopause, your hormone levels have already started to decline. As you progress further into menopause, your uterus will gradually shrink, and the fibroids will also shrink accordingly. Therefore, you can take medication under the guidance of your local doctor while regularly undergoing follow-up examinations at the hospital.For uterine fibroid patients, in addition to medication to alleviate symptoms, it is also important to pay attention to self-care. For example, during treatment, it is essential to maintain good hygiene and keep the private area clean at all times.
