Patient's question:
I have uterine fibroids 4, o/3, 7, apart from one ovarian cyst and one cervical cyst. Recently, I've been experiencing lower back pain on the left side. How large should the uterine fibroids be before surgical treatment is recommended?Doctor's answer:
How uterine fibroids require surgery depends not only on the size of the fibroids but also on the clinical diagnostic symptoms. If the clinical symptoms include heavy menstrual bleeding and prolonged duration, leading to anemia, surgery may be necessary even if the fibroids have not reached the size criteria. Currently, if fibroids cause significant back pain relief, in addition to symptoms like heavy menstrual bleeding and prolonged duration, surgery should still be considered. The daily treatment for uterine fibroid patients primarily involves symptomatic treatment. Patients can take oral medications, supplement with vitamins, and pay attention to their diet by consuming light, soft, and easily digestible foods. We hope that uterine fibroid patients can recover as soon as possible.
