Can women with uterine fibroids have surgery?

Patient's question:

I have two children and haven't experienced any discomfort symptoms. I just feel that my menstrual flow is a bit lighter. A few days ago, when I went to the community for a gynecological examination, I was found to have uterine fibroids. Can uterine fibroids be surgically treated?

Doctor's answer:

The treatment method for uterine fibroids depends on various factors, including the patient's age, the presence of symptoms, the location, size, growth rate, and number of fibroids, the extent of uterine deformation caused, how to preserve fertility, and the patient's preferences.
Laparoscopic surgical procedures for treating uterine fibroids are increasingly being used in clinical diagnosis. There are several methods for treating uterine fibroids using laparoscopy, with the most common being laparoscopic transcervical fibroid resection, which is most suitable for young women who have not yet become pregnant.
Uterine fibroid patients can complement professional treatment with dietary therapy in daily life. It is essential to avoid extreme hunger or overeating and to never binge on food during daily meals.
