Do all uterine fibroids need to be removed?

Patient's question:

In the past year, I have had two fibroids. One of them is currently degenerating. Here is the history and effectiveness of past treatments:
Regarding medication, what kind of help does it provide? Should it be removed? Will it affect fertility?

Doctor's answer:

Hello. Uterine fibroids are common and easily occurring benign tumors in women. Surgery is only indicated if the diameter is less than 5 cm. Small fibroids do not require treatment and can be checked once a year. According to your description, if the fibroid diameter is not less than 5 cm, surgery is not necessary. Regular follow-up checks can be used instead, and it does not affect fertility. The above answer is hoped to help you. Thank you.
