Patient's question:
My sister has had uterine fibroids for many years. I'm not sure about the specifics, but she said the doctor mentioned that for now, surgery is not necessary. She just needs to pay close attention and monitor the situation. She has been seeking medical help from various doctors for gynecological issues, as she often feels discomfort downstairs. I don't know how big the uterine fibroids need to be before surgery is required?Doctor's answer:
Actually, almost 70-80% of women in their reproductive age have uterine fibroids, but the types and sizes vary. If the uterine fibroid is serous, it generally will not interfere with the body. If the uterine fibroid affects menstruation and overall health, surgery to remove it should be performed promptly, regardless of its size. If the diameter is less than 5 centimeters, surgery is also required. As for other gynecological diseases, active treatment should be carried out.
