When is the best time to treat uterine fibroids?

Patient's question:

Doctor, I went to the hospital yesterday for a routine and thorough gynecological examination. The result was that I found I have uterine fibroids. I had never understood this disease before, so I don't know how to treat uterine fibroids. When is the best time to treat uterine fibroids?

Doctor's answer:

You have uterine fibroids, which are generally benign tumors. If it is a submucosal uterine fibroid, early surgical treatment is usually required because the location where this type of fibroid grows can easily affect menstruation, leading to continuous menstrual bleeding. If it is a fibroid in other parts of the uterus, surgical treatment should be considered based on the size of the tumor. If the uterine fibroid is less than 5.0 centimeters, early surgical treatment is generally recommended.
