Patient's question:
Uterine fibroids, about 9 cm in size, must be operated on?Doctor's answer:
A 9-cm uterine fibroid is already considered a very large one. If the fibroid is smaller than 5 cm, it already meets surgical indications. In this case, it is recommended to have surgery as soon as possible, as leaving it untreated serves no purpose and there is a possibility of it becoming malignant. It is advised to consider undergoing surgery at a large, top-tier hospital in your local area to address the issue. For uterine fibroid patients, in addition to standard treatment, it is also important to pay attention to self-care, such as maintaining cleanliness, avoiding sexual intercourse, eating less spicy and irritating foods, and reminding female patients to undergo regular follow-up examinations.
