Is a 1.3 cm uterine fibroid serious?

Patient's question:

My wife had a thorough examination and found a uterine fibroid of 1.3 cm. I want to ask if a uterine fibroid of 1.3 cm is serious?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, it should be relatively small. If there are no symptoms, you can temporarily focus on medication and carefully observe for now. Uterine fibroids are generally considered conservative treatment with medication if they are less than five centimeters and cause no symptoms. However, if the uterine fibroid is larger than five centimeters or if the clinical symptoms are significant, such as abdominal pain, vaginal bleeding, etc., surgery will be required.
