Patient's question:
How big should uterine fibroids be before surgery is recommended?Doctor's answer:
Hello, uterine fibroids still need to be distinguished between urgency and priority, whether to take medication or have surgical removal. Generally, if the uterus is of normal size and there are single or multiple small fibroids inside, treatments such as Gongtuo Xiao or Guizhi Fuling Pill, which promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, can be used. If the uterus is enlarged and accompanied by multiple fibroids, with the largest exceeding 5cm, medication is ineffective, and surgical removal should be considered to prevent excessive growth from affecting menstruation. Patients with uterine fibroids accompanied by adenomyosis can also undergo hysterectomy if medication is ineffective and the woman has no desire for fertility.
