Patient's question:
My only as big as green beans? Used for surgery? If not needed for surgery, how to treat?Doctor's answer:
The treatment measures for uterine fibroids should be comprehensively evaluated and considered based on the size of the fibroids, the severity of clinical diagnostic symptoms, the patient's age, and the patient's preferences. Generally, if the uterine fibroids are small, asymptomatic, without complications or degeneration, and do not interfere with health, they can often be left untreated. For perimenopausal patients without clinical diagnostic symptoms, it should be considered that the decline in ovarian function may lead to fibroid regression or enlargement. In the above cases, expectant therapy surgery can be used, but medication can be administered first before surgery. If the medication is effective, surgery may be temporarily avoided. It should also be noted that in postmenopausal women, fibroids rarely do not expand but instead shrink. Therefore, close follow-up should be enhanced. Your fibroids are relatively small, so they may not require treatment or medication at this time.
