Should uterine fibroids require surgery?

Patient's question:

I am 34 years old, have diabetes, and discovered uterine fibroids during pregnancy in 2007. During a cesarean section, the doctor removed the uterine fibroids. Today, during a physical examination, I found uterine fibroids measuring 2220 and an ovarian cyst measuring 2723.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, considering it may be uterine fibroids, if the size is not large, there is no need to worry as it generally has no significant impact on your health. Regular follow-up is recommended. If the size exceeds 5 cm or if there are obvious symptoms such as increased or irregular menstrual flow, surgery can be performed to remove the fibroids, and minimally invasive treatment can be adopted, allowing for faster recovery.
The occurrence of gynecological tumors not only affects women's health but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to visit the gynecology department of a hospital for a gynecological examination. After identifying the cause, symptomatic treatment should be administered. Pay attention to dietary adjustments, consuming light and easily digestible foods, and avoid spicy, stimulating, and cold foods.
