Patient's question:
I am a 32-year-old woman. Recently, I had a thorough examination at the hospital and was diagnosed with uterine fibroids. Currently, I am undergoing initial treatment for this condition, and surgery has not yet begun. I would like to ask the doctor when is the most appropriate time to have the fibroids removed?Doctor's answer:
It is best to have the surgery as soon as possible. Generally speaking, a fibroid of 6 cm requires surgery. The difficulty of the procedure depends on the location where the fibroid is growing. In most cases, the surgery is successful, and a month of rest after the surgery is sufficient. For patients, if the condition of uterine fibroids is severe, timely symptomatic treatment and appropriate medication are necessary. Otherwise, it may lead to a recurrence of uterine fibroids. Additionally, patients need to maintain a positive mood to avoid worsening the condition.
