Does uterine fibroids require surgical removal?

Patient's question:

My body has never been very good, and recently I've been feeling some discomfort in my abdomen. It feels a bit hard, but it's not very painful. I bought some medicine myself to take, but it didn't help. I also noticed some blood in my urine and went to the hospital for a thorough check-up, where they said I have uterine fibroids. I want to ask if uterine fibroids need to be surgically removed?

Doctor's answer:

It is essential to seek timely treatment for uterine fibroids because as the size of the fibroids increases, they often lead to infertility. If, in addition to preparing for conception, one must absolutely avoid undergoing a hysterectomy. How the ovaries and fallopian tubes are removed requires even more caution, as this would deprive the female of the source of hormone secretion. Local treatment can be performed when necessary, and traditional Chinese medicine treatment still holds value if endured long-term.
In addition, during the treatment of uterine fibroids, apart from immediate medical intervention, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also very important. Patients must avoid excessive mental tension and worry to prevent unnecessary impacts on the complete recovery of uterine fibroids.
