Should a surgery be performed for a uterine fibroid of 60mm?

Patient's question:

Usually, Mom is a very hardworking person with no worries. But recently, I noticed she has become extremely lazy, always hiding in her room lying in bed and not coming out. I asked her what was wrong, and she said she had lower abdominal pain and was bleeding from her lower body. I took Mom to the hospital for a thorough examination, where it was discovered she has a uterine fibroid of 60mm and needs surgery.

Doctor's answer:

If the diameter of the uterine fibroid has already exceeded 60 millimeters, it is best to address it through surgery, as uterine fibroids that are less than 5 centimeters generally do not cause significant interference to the body. However, since your fibroid is now quite large and has also caused significant abdominal pain and vaginal bleeding, it is best to have it surgically removed to completely resolve these symptoms.
