What is the severity of uterine fibroids?

Patient's question:

A few days ago, I found out I have uterine fibroids. It felt like everything collapsed. I'm still young and don't want to lose my youth. Later, the doctor comforted me, saying it could be treated, but I don't know what good methods there are. So, I'd like to ask about the severity of uterine fibroids and their treatments?

Doctor's answer:

Uterine fibroids are relatively common tumors in gynecology. This is a benign tumor, so there is no need to worry too much. Uterine fibroids can be cured through treatment. Generally, the treatment method for uterine fibroids needs to be selected based on the size and growth location of the fibroids. If the fibroids are relatively small and do not have obvious symptoms, most of them do not require treatment, mainly through irregular follow-up. However, if the fibroids are larger, less than 5.0 cm, this condition can be treated by surgical removal. If it is a submucosal uterine fibroid, it can easily affect menstruation, and this condition can be treated by laparoscopic surgery.
