How big the uterine fibroid is determines whether it needs to be removed

Patient's question:

How large does an uterine fibroid need to be to require removal, and if it is not removed, how should one pay attention to it in daily life?

Doctor's answer:

Generally, uterine fibroids larger than five centimeters have surgical indications! Based on your age, if you have no symptoms and it's just a simple uterine fibroid, surgery may not be necessary. Since you're already in perimenopause, the fibroid will definitely not grow after menopause. You can have a check-up once a year! The condition of uterine fibroids is very serious, and it is recommended that patients seek immediate treatment. It is hoped that patients can follow the doctor's advice for symptomatic treatment. At the same time, pay attention to dietary issues and avoid spicy foods to prevent worsening the condition.
