Patient's question:
I haven't had a normal menstrual cycle for these past few months. It's been excessively heavy, making me feel extremely exhausted. I went to the hospital, and the doctor told me I have uterine fibroids. Although they aren't very large, the location where they are growing is problematic, and they must be surgically removed, otherwise it would be harmful to my health. I would like to ask what are the indications for uterine fibroid surgery?Doctor's answer:
Uterine leiomyomas are common benign tumors in women. If uterine leiomyomas rapidly increase and undergo hidden malignant transformation, surgery should be performed promptly. They are ineffective in treating heavy menstrual bleeding and severe anemia, and surgery should be considered when healthy tissue is affected. Uterine leiomyomas pose almost no threat to a person's soul and safety, so two-thirds of patients do not need to rush to understand surgical treatment. In addition to treating uterine fibroids, patients are advised to pay attention to their diet in daily life and to always maintain a cheerful mood.
