Patient's question:
Uterus; Anterior position, 8.9 x 8.3 (largest); 6.3 x 5.9, Endometrial thickness 0.9, Echogenic area in the right lower abdomen; 6.2 x 0.9Doctor's answer:
The occurrence of uterine fibroids is related to hormonal imbalance. Generally, fibroids smaller than 5 centimeters that do not cause 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, but for multiple fibroids in patients who have not yet entered menopause, it is recommended to have the uterus removed to prevent further growth.
