Will uterine fibroids recur after surgery?

Patient's question:

3 years ago, I had a uterine fibroid surgery at Nanjing Women and Children's Hospital. Recently, I went for a check-up and found that another fibroid has grown in my uterus.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, uterine fibroids are common benign gynecological tumors. Generally, fibroids less than 5 centimeters in size can be treated conservatively, as they may shrink on their own when estrogen levels in the body decline. Fibroids larger than 5 centimeters require surgical removal. For small fibroids, it is important to undergo regular check-ups, and treatment methods such as ultrasonic, hysteroscopy, or surgery should be chosen based on symptoms and fertility needs.
