Is a 3cm uterine fibroid serious?

Patient's question:

Is uterine fibroids serious? What should be done? Previously, menstrual periods were abnormal. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination of uterine fibroids, about 3 cm. Is it serious? What should be done?

Doctor's answer:

If uterine fibroids are greater than or equal to 5 centimeters, surgery is indicated. If you don't have any special symptoms, you can have a B re-examination every six months to dynamically and carefully monitor the fibroids without the need for surgical treatment. Oral medication can be strictly administered. The recurrence of uterine fibroids is related to hormonal imbalance. Generally, fibroids less than 5 centimeters in size that do not cause frequent menstruation or excessive menstrual flow do not require surgery. There are many treatment methods for uterine fibroids, but since the symptoms of patients vary, the treatment methods used are also different. Therefore, patients should seek early diagnosis and treatment after noticing symptoms.
