Doctor's answer:
Hello: Indications for Uterine Fibroid Surgery:1. Uterine fibroids cause excessive bleeding, or prolonged heavy menstrual bleeding and extended periods leading to anemia, which cannot be cured with medication. In this case, surgical removal is an effective solution.
2. Uterine fibroids grow to the size of a fist, compressing other organs in the pelvic cavity. Surgical removal can alleviate symptoms, and larger fibroids have a higher risk of malignancy compared to smaller ones.
3. The fibroids grow too rapidly, or after menopause, they do not shrink but instead enlarge.
4. Women with infertility but normal results from other tests may have uterine fibroids as the cause. Uterine fibroids may lead to habitual abortion.
Laparoscopic surgery can be performed if conditions permit. Uterine fibroids have a certain impact on fertility. You may visit Beijing Chaoyang Hospital or Beijing Maternity and Child Health Hospital for consultation and treatment.
