Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. Could you please tell me how big a uterine fibroid needs to be for surgery?Doctor's answer:
Hello, uterine fibroids are common benign gynecological tumors. Generally, fibroids less than 5 cm in size can be treated conservatively, as they may shrink on their own when estrogen levels in the body decline. Fibroids larger than 5 cm require surgical removal. Uterine fibroids not only affect a woman's life but also lead to the occurrence of gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to visit the gynecology department of a hospital for a gynecological examination, identify the cause, and receive symptomatic treatment. Pay attention to personal hygiene and keep the perineal skin clean.
