Patient's question:
I found out I have a uterine fibroid, only one, located on the posterior wall of the left side. It doesn't cause any discomfort, but it's almost 5MM in size now. The doctor said it's best to have surgery for treatment. I'm currently undecided. If I don't have it done, I'm afraid it will continue to grow. If I do, I don't know how effective it will be. Some people even say that after surgery, they may grow back. Will uterine fibroids grow back after removal?Doctor's answer:
The removal of uterine fibroids is closely related to whether they will grow back, depending on the treatment method. If some fibroids cannot be completely removed during the surgery, they may grow back after a period of time. Therefore, in the treatment of uterine fibroids, it is essential to choose a reputable and hospital. In fact, having uterine fibroids is not something to be feared. Patients should believe that they can overcome the disease. As long as symptoms are detected in time and the appropriate treatment is administered, the chances of stabilizing the condition and recovering are very high.
