Patient's question:
Abdominal pain, went to the hospital for an abdominal ultrasound. The detailed result was a uterine fibroid of 4.6 cm. Do you need surgery?Doctor's answer:
Uterine fibroids are common benign gynecological tumors, generally without obvious symptoms. In severe cases, they may cause symptoms such as continuous increase in menstrual volume, pain, and irregular vaginal bleeding. A size of 4.6 cm is not considered significant, but if accompanied by discomfort, surgical treatment may be necessary. Abnormal uterine bleeding or urinary and fecal control issues can be followed up every three to six months, with a follow-up ultrasound. If discomfort persists, surgical treatment may be required, but there is a possibility of complications after surgery.
