How big does a uterine fibroid need to be for surgery?

Patient's question:

Your relative's grandmother now has a uterine fibroid in her body and is in the observation period. How big does the uterine fibroid need to grow before surgery is performed?

Doctor's answer:

Your relative's aunt is now 45 years old, which is the age of perimenopause. If the uterine fibroid is not smaller than 5 centimeters, the menstrual cycle is normal, and there is no recurrence of excessive menstrual bleeding causing anemia, then surgery may not be necessary. It is recommended to have a B follow-up once a year. If the fibroid is smaller than 5 centimeters and excessive menstrual bleeding causes anemia, surgery will be required. Participate actively in physical exercise, regulate physical and mental health, and maintain personal hygiene.
