Patient's question:
On October 30, 2010, laboratory and careful examination results: Uterus: Anterior position, anteroposterior diameter 5.3 cm, heterogeneous muscle wall, visible approximately 3.03.6 cm normal echoes on the upper right posterior wall, clear boundaries, regular shape, endometrium on the left side, thickness 0.7 cm, IUD 2.8 cm from the fundus. Both adnexa are of normal size, no obvious space-occupying lesions. MRI confirmed: Uterine fibroids. IUD position downward movement? Previous treatment history and effectiveness: No matter what kind of treatment is like?Doctor's answer:
Uterine fibroids are common benign tumors in women. Generally, surgery is only indicated when the diameter is less than 5 cm, and only surgery can completely cure fibroids. Smaller fibroids can be managed with annual follow-up. Ninety-nine percent of fibroids are benign, and the chance of them becoming malignant is very small. Your fibroid is still very small and does not require treatment; annual follow-up is sufficient. According to your detailed examination results, the intrauterine device (IUD) has moved downward. It is recommended to remove it.
