At the age of 41, with a 5 cm growth in uterine fibroids, can an IUD be inserted?

Patient's question:

At the end of last year, I myself discovered that I was pregnant. Because there was already a child at home, so my husband and I decided not to have any more children. In January of this year, I had an abortion, but later I noticed some pain in my lower abdomen. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, the doctor said that I had uterine fibroids.

Doctor's answer:

According to your age, you should be approaching menopause, so there's no need for an IUD. Using condoms for breastfeeding is generally fine. The uterine fibroids don't need treatment now; they usually expand or disappear after menopause. I suggest you don't get an IUD, and I hope my explanation helps you. In fact, having uterine fibroids isn't at all. Patients should believe they can overcome the disease. As long as it's detected early and treated promptly, the chances of controlling the condition and recovering are very high.
