Patient's question:
I've been feeling lower abdominal bloating and pain for a while, and there's been irregular vaginal bleeding. I don't know what's going on. My physical condition has been quite good in daily life, but it's really unbearable. Later, I went to the hospital for a check-up, and the doctor said it was uterine leiomyosarcoma.Doctor's answer:
Generally, fibroids smaller than 5 centimeters that do not cause symptoms such as frequent menstruation or excessive menstrual flow do not require surgery and can be treated with medication to control their growth. Fibroids larger than 5 centimeters are usually recommended for surgical treatment. A single fibroid can often be removed through surgery. For multiple fibroids, especially in patients who have not yet entered menopause, it is recommended to undergo a hysterectomy to prevent the fibroids from regrowing.
