Patient's question:
Doctor, I am a 35-year-old middle-aged woman. I currently have uterine fibroids, and the doctor at the hospital recommended that I have surgery, but I would like to pursue conservative treatment. I hope the doctor can tell me how uterine fibroids are treated?Doctor's answer:
Hello, I am very happy to help you solve your problem. Uterine fibroids, whether surgery is needed depends on the size of the fibroid being less than five centimeters, whether it grows towards the endometrium, changes the shape of the uterine cavity, or submucosal fibroids that affect menstrual volume and cycle, leading to anemia. Additionally, if the fibroid grows in a location that is difficult to control, such as the bladder and rectum, causing frequent urination and constipation, surgical treatment should be considered. Otherwise, for a 35-year-old woman whose fibroid has not caused any relevant clinical symptoms, it can be closely monitored with follow-up, or medications to inhibit the growth of uterine fibroids can be taken, such as Gongtuo Xiao or Hongjin Xiaojie.
