Patient's question:
The first time I was diagnosed with uterine fibroids was 2 years ago, when it was discovered during a health check-up at my workplace. There was a small tumor in my uterus, about 2 centimeters in size. The doctor prescribed medication, and it gradually went away. This year, during a thorough examination, the condition recurred, with two larger tumors, both about 5 centimeters in size. How should uterine fibroids larger than 5 centimeters be treated?Doctor's answer:
If the tumor is larger than 5cm and the symptoms are severe, surgical treatment can be adopted, such as minimally invasive laser, radiofrequency ablation, hysteroscopy and laparoscopy, etc. Surgical treatment takes effect immediately, but it cannot completely rule out the possibility of recurrence. After recurrence, some friends may not know what to do, so medication is still needed after surgery to prevent recurrence. In addition to timely treatment of uterine fibroids, patients should maintain a positive attitude towards the disease. Only in this way can patients receive timely and appropriate treatment. At the same time, they should pay close attention to their dietary care and monitor changes in their symptoms, believing that this will definitely drive away uterine fibroids.
