Patient's question:
I have had uterine fibroids for many years, and recent tests show they have grown. I don't want surgery, can minimally invasive surgery be done?Doctor's answer:
Hello; it is generally not recommended to have surgery for fibroids smaller than 5 centimeters. After menopause, small uterine fibroids can possibly shrink and disappear on their own. Fibroids larger than 5 centimeters that accompany menstrual symptoms must be surgically removed. Your condition is abnormal, and it is recommended to have an ultrasound and six sex hormone tests to determine the cause and receive symptomatic treatment. The occurrence of uterine fibroids not only affects women's health but also leads to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to have an ultrasound examination in the gynecology department of the hospital, identify the cause, and receive symptomatic treatment. Pay attention to personal hygiene and keep the perineal skin clean.
