Is there a danger in having a small uterine fibroid less than 2 cm?

Patient's question:

After giving birth for more than four months, I experienced stomach pain and was diagnosed with a small uterine fibroid. The doctor recommended a follow-up check-up in six months. Is there any danger? Do I need surgery?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, generally, uterine fibroids smaller than 5 centimeters that do not cause frequent menstruation or excessive menstrual flow do not require surgery. It is possible to treat them with oral Guizhi Fuling pills. Oral Guizhi Fuling capsules, Gongtuo Xiao, or Baixiao Dan can also be used for treatment. After menopause, small uterine fibroids may shrink and disappear on their own. If the fibroid is larger than 5 centimeters and accompanied by symptoms, surgical treatment is necessary. Wishing you good health.
