Patient's question:
. Discovered uterine fibroids in September 2012, size 3.63.9cm, ultrasound examinations showed no growth. In August 2015, the examination showed the size had increased to 5.154.7cm. On October 13, 2015, surgery was performed. Before the uterine fibroid removal surgery, no diagnostic was performed to confirm the diagnosis. During the surgery, the pathology test results showed endometrial cancer, but after further diagnosis, it was determined to be uterine fibroids. What kind of assistance is needed: What are the methods for treating uterine fibroids?Doctor's answer:
Uterine fibroids are a common benign tumor. Asymptomatic fibroids may not require treatment. If the fibroids are smaller than 5 centimeters, medication can be used to alleviate the condition through oral administration. If the fibroids are larger than 5 centimeters, surgical removal or a total abdominal hysterectomy may be necessary. Additionally, you need to check the size of your fibroids at the hospital to receive targeted treatment.
