Patient's question:
Earlier, I went to the hospital for a thorough examination and was diagnosed with uterine fibroids. The tumor was four centimeters, and the doctor recommended that I have surgery to remove it. But I heard from a friend that uterine fibroids don't necessarily require surgery. How should uterine fibroids be treated?Doctor's answer:
Lesions smaller than 5 centimeters that do not recur with frequent menstruation or excessive menstrual flow do not require surgery. It is recommended to undergo irregular follow-up examinations and carefully monitor the expansion of the lesions. Symptomatic treatment is recommended for severe uterine fibroid patients. It is advised to seek medical attention promptly and follow the doctor's recommendations for timely treatment. Avoid using medication blindly to prevent worsening the condition. I hope my advice can help you.
