Patient's question:
Doctor, I have had uterine fibroids for several years. Recently, I went to the hospital for a follow-up examination and found that the largest uterine fibroid has grown beyond eight centimeters. I want to have surgery to treat it. Hello, can a minimally invasive surgery be performed if the uterine fibroid is eight centimeters?Doctor's answer:
Uterine fibroids are a relatively common gynecological disease. The vast majority of uterine fibroids are benign, and the chance of malignancy is very small. For patients with uterine fibroids larger than five centimeters, surgery is generally required for treatment. Your fibroid has now exceeded eight centimeters, so surgery is necessary. In most cases, minimally invasive surgery can be used. In daily life, it is recommended to eat less estrogen-containing foods and supplements, and to avoid spicy and irritating foods.
