Patient's question:
Do multiple uterine fibroids need surgery? After giving birth to her second child, she discovered she had uterine fibroids. Her menstrual period volume is particularly large, and she has always been anemic. She lacks energy at work and doesn't know if she needs surgery. Her colleagues at work said that it will be fine when the menstruation period is over, and there's no need for surgery. But she feels that her condition is quite severe.Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if your uterine fibroids have reappeared with obvious complications, timely symptomatic treatment is necessary. Under normal circumstances, if uterine fibroids do not affect the menstrual cycle or cause changes in urination and defecation, regular follow-up checks are sufficient. However, if your uterine fibroids affect menstrual volume, excessive bleeding can easily lead to anemia and changes in other organs, it is recommended to seek timely treatment. In necessary cases, surgery may be the only option for treatment.
