Patient's question:
Does a 5.9 cm uterine fibroid require surgical treatment?Doctor's answer:
If a young woman experiences uterine fibroids larger than five centimeters again, it is best to recommend surgical treatment at this time. This is because young people have a more active blood circulation, which can lead to the growth of uterine fibroids. If uterine fibroids are present during pregnancy, it can be very dangerous. If it is during menopause, this uterine fibroid does not need surgery. After menopause, with no blood circulation, the uterine fibroid will expand on its own.
