Patient's question:
I have had uterine fibroids for many years, and the recent examination found them to be growing. I don't want surgery, can minimally invasive surgery be performed?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. If the fibroid is larger than 5 centimeters and accompanied by menstrual symptoms, surgery to remove the fibroid is necessary. Your condition is abnormal, so it is recommended to have an ultrasound and six sex hormone tests to determine the cause and receive targeted 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 a hospital, identify the cause, and receive targeted treatment. Pay attention to personal hygiene and keep the perineal skin clean.
