Patient's question:
I usually don't have any uncomfortable symptoms, but I feel that my menstrual flow has been stronger than before this year, and my period has also been shorter. Last week, during the company's group gynecological examination, an ultrasound was performed, and the results showed that there is a uterine fibroid about 3 cm in size. Should surgery be performed for a 3 cm uterine fibroid?Doctor's answer:
The recurrence of uterine fibroids is related to hormonal imbalance. Tumors smaller than 5 cm can be treated with medication to control their growth. If the size is below 5 cm, doctors may recommend surgical treatment. Generally, a single fibroid can be removed through surgery. If there are multiple fibroids and the patient has not yet entered menopause, doctors may recommend removing the uterus to prevent further growth. In addition to symptomatic treatment, patients with uterine fibroids should pay attention to maintaining a good mood in daily life, as a positive attitude is very helpful for the complete recovery from the disease.
