Patient's question:
Uterine fibroids measuring 60mm x 65mm - is it a problem? Is surgery necessary?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, considering your age and the presence of six uterine fibroids over 6 cm in size, if there are pressure symptoms or interference with menstruation, the treatment method should be selected based on the size and location of the fibroids. Since you are approaching menopause, fibroids tend to grow after menopause due to hormonal changes. It is recommended that you relax and do not become overly anxious. You should have an examination to determine the location of your fibroids. If they are located on the serosal layer of the uterus and do not interfere with menstruation, a laparoscopic minimally invasive surgery can be performed to remove the fibroids. If they are located in the myometrium and are 6 cm in size, causing uterine deformation, heavy menstrual bleeding, and pressure symptoms, a hysterectomy may be necessary. In addition to treating uterine fibroids, it is advised that patients pay attention to their diet and maintain a positive mood in daily life.
