Is it a concern if a uterine fibroid occurs after menopause?

Patient's question:

My partner has been menopausal for 3 years now and has recently discovered a large uterine fibroid. I don't know what to do? Should surgery be performed? What kind of help is needed: How should one handle this situation?

Doctor's answer:

Generally, uterine fibroids tend to grow slowly after menopause and will not suddenly increase. However, if the fibroids are larger, exceeding five centimeters, surgery is necessary! You can send over your detailed check-up report for me to review and see how large the uterine fibroids are to determine if surgery is required. If surgery is not an option, regular follow-up and re-examinations without a fixed schedule are still necessary. Drink plenty of water and maintain a positive mood. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
