Is uterine fibroids necessarily require surgery to remove?

Patient's question:

Six months ago, I had intermittent pain in my lower abdomen, and later I also experienced vaginal bleeding. A detailed ultrasound examination revealed uterine fibroids, approximately two to three centimeters in diameter, and there were two of them. The doctor recommended surgery to remove them. I would like to ask if uterine fibroids must be surgically removed? Can traditional Chinese medicine be used instead?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, I'm glad to help you. Uterine fibroids are common benign gynecological diseases in women, and this condition is also related to factors such as working overtime and getting angry. If the uterine fibroid is less than 4 centimeters and there are no clinical symptoms, it can be carefully monitored. Have an ultrasound examination once a year. If the uterine fibroid is larger than 4 centimeters and accompanied by symptoms such as skin peeling and abdominal pain, surgical treatment is recommended. I hope my advice can help you.
