Patient's question:
I have uterine fibroids. I had a thorough examination today. Are uterine fibroids 9mm by 8mm serious?Doctor's answer:
You have a 9 mm by 8 mm uterine fibroid detected during a careful ultrasound examination. This is very small, less than one centimeter, so it is not serious at all. Regular follow-up ultrasounds are sufficient. If the uterine fibroid becomes larger, for example, 7 to 8 centimeters, and symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, and lower abdominal pain reappear, then surgical intervention may be necessary.
