How large should multiple uterine fibroids be for surgery?

Patient's question:

I have recently had irregular menstruation and had a routine check-up at the gynecology department of the hospital. It was found that there is a 7 cm tumor in my uterus, and I don't know if it is benign or malignant. I feel so sad. How should I have surgery for multiple uterine fibroids?

Doctor's answer:

Generally, surgery is recommended when the tumor reaches 3 centimeters. The current symptoms may disappear with menopause, but a large tumor can cause other symptoms such as difficulty controlling it. Therefore, it is advisable to have surgery directly. In fact, having uterine fibroids is not at all. Patients should believe that they can overcome the illness. As long as symptoms are detected early and treated accordingly, the chances of stabilizing the condition and recovering are very high. Maintaining an optimistic and cheerful mood and a calm mindset can enhance the body's immunity. Pay attention to keeping warm and avoid catching colds or getting chilled.
