Patient's question:
Mom said that her sister's uterine fibroids have been carefully checked for several years. In the past, it had little impact, and she said she wouldn't treat it no matter what, saying that her menstruation would return and gradually improve. But now, not only has her menstruation not returned, but she has also been bleeding intermittently. The doctor insists that she undergo surgery to remove it.Doctor's answer:
The treatment method for uterine fibroids depends on factors such as your age, the presence of symptoms, the location, size, growth rate, and number of fibroids, the extent to which the uterus is deformed, how to preserve fertility, and your personal preferences. If you are already in perimenopause, the fibroids are small, without complications or degeneration, and do not affect your health, conservative treatment can be considered first. If medication is effective, surgery may be postponed.
