Patient's question:
The doctor has uterine fibroids. The doctor has already completed all the necessary examinations, including hysteroscopy. The doctor would like to undergo surgery in three months. Will a re-examination be required at that time?Doctor's answer:
In clinical practice, the main diagnostic tests for uterine fibroids rely on ultrasound examinations or color Doppler ultrasound examinations. Color Doppler ultrasound is a type of imaging test. Through this examination, it is possible to determine the location of uterine fibroids, their size, and whether they have undergone degeneration. Additionally, if uterine fibroids are detected, although they are benign gynecological tumors, 1%-1.39% of patients may develop cancer. Therefore, if uterine fibroids are found, blood tests for the three gynecological tumors can also be conducted to assess the possibility of malignancy. It is recommended that patients without surgical indications undergo an ultrasound examination every six months.
