Patient's question:
Doctor,My mother currently suffers from uterine fibroids. Due to the late discovery, the hospital examination found that the largest tumor has grown to over 30 centimeters. Could you please tell me if minimally invasive treatment is still possible in this case? My mother is not very old and does not want to undergo conventional surgery. If minimally invasive treatment is not an option, are there any other methods to remove the fibroids? Thank you.
Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you mentioned: uterine fibroids, adenomyosis, uterine adenomyopathy, and dysfunctional uterine bleeding are harmful to women, mainly causing heavy menstrual bleeding, severe anemia, infertility, infection, and pressure symptoms. For patients with mild symptoms, if the size of the uterus does not exceed the size of a 12-week pregnancy, surgery is not necessary. It is sufficient to have a hospital check-up every three months and monitor the changes in the fibroids at any time. Especially for patients nearing menopause, as fibroids may naturally shrink after menopause, conservative treatment is generally recommended.
