Is a 3cm uterine fibroid serious?

Patient's question:

Is uterine fibroids serious? What should be done? Previously, menstrual abnormalities occurred, and uterine fibroids about 3cm were examined in the hospital. Are they serious? What should be done?

Doctor's answer:

Uterine fibroids are a surgical indication if they are equal to or greater than 5 cm. 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 cm 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 are different, the treatment methods used are also different. Therefore, patients should seek early diagnosis and treatment once they notice symptoms.
