Patient's question:
Hello, I have uterine fibroids in my uterus. Is there any good way to treat them?Doctor's answer:
Hello, if a uterine fibroid is solitary and less than 5 cm with no discomfort symptoms, surgery may not be necessary. Medication can be tried, but drugs are often not effective in completely removing them. If the fibroid is larger than 5 cm, multiple, or accompanied by significant symptoms, the best approach is surgery. Surgical options include laparoscopic and abdominal procedures, such as fibroid enucleation, total hysterectomy, and subtotal hysterectomy, which should be determined based on the size and location of the fibroid.
