Patient's question:
I am 33 years old. Last year, when I discovered I was pregnant, I found that I had a uterine fibroid measuring 8.6x5.2 cm. Now, 50 days after a caesarean section, an ultrasound showed it to be 5.9x4.2 cm. Is it better to treat it with medication or have surgery? Can I get pregnant after surgery? Can uterine fibroids be cured with medication?Doctor's answer:
Uterine fibroids, also known as leiomyomas, are the most common benign tumors of the female reproductive organs. Uterine fibroids can be cured through surgical treatment. After the surgery, pregnancy is possible, but it may take about a year. When patients are affected by uterine fibroids, we should actively adopt treatment measures and not avoid seeking medical attention. If uterine fibroids do not improve with treatment, it is necessary to promptly adjust the treatment plan.
