Patient's question:
I am a patient with uterine fibroids. I would like to ask when is a good time to have surgery? The size of the fibroids is currently 5.7 cm, and I am 56 years old. Besides menstruation, when is a good time to have surgery?Doctor's answer:
The treatment methods for uterine fibroids are primarily surgical interventions:1. Uterine fibroid resection: This involves removing the fibroids from the uterus while preserving the uterus. It is mainly used for women under 45, especially those under 40.
2. Hysterectomy: This is recommended when expectant therapy and drug therapy cannot stabilize the patient's symptoms, and the patient is not a candidate for fibroid removal. Additionally, clinical diagnosis may include traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and herbal remedies as complementary treatments.
Friends with uterine fibroids should maintain a positive mindset and face the condition with optimism. Only in this way can they boost their confidence in combating uterine fibroids and believe that recovery is attainable.
