Patient's question:
Recently, my menstrual period has been prolonged and heavy for the past six months. The last one has lasted for a month so far without subsiding. Hospital ultrasound examination revealed a 4cm3cm hypoechoic area in the cervical canal, with irregular honeycomb-like echoes. It is required to continue gynecological examinations.Doctor's answer:
The occurrence of uterine fibroids is related to hormonal imbalance. Generally, fibroids smaller than 5 centimeters that do not cause frequent menstruation or excessive menstrual flow do not require surgery and can be treated with medication to control their growth. Fibroids larger than 5 centimeters are usually recommended for surgical treatment. A single fibroid can often be removed through surgery. For multiple fibroids in patients who have not yet entered menopause, it is recommended to remove the uterus to prevent the fibroids from growing back.
