What are some good suggestions for uterine fibroids?

Patient's question:

This year's ultrasound findings: The uterus measures 4.9x4.2x3.8cm, with a smooth surface. A low-echo nodular lesion is observed on the anterior wall and posterior wall of the uterus, respectively, with clear boundaries. The larger one is located on the posterior wall, measuring approximately 2x1.6cm. The remaining uterine muscle layer shows uneven echo patterns, with an endometrial thickness of 0.7cm, centrally located. An anechoic dark area measuring approximately 0.5x0.5cm is seen in the cervix. No significant abnormal echoes are observed in the bilateral adnexal regions. An anechoic dark area with a range of approximately 3.2x1.2cm is seen in the Pouch of Douglas.

Doctor's answer:

Tumors smaller than 5CM can be treated with medication to control the growth of fibroids. If the size exceeds 5CM, doctors will recommend surgical treatment. Generally, a single fibroid can be removed through surgery. For multiple fibroids in patients who have not yet entered menopause, doctors may suggest a hysterectomy to prevent further growth. The appearance of uterine fibroids not only affects a woman's physical health but also leads to the occurrence of gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to undergo a vaginal examination in the gynecology department of a hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. Pay attention to personal hygiene and maintain cleanliness in the perineal area.
