Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I am 42 years old, and I have uterine fibroids. My symptoms are heavy and sometimes prolonged menstruation, often feeling lower back and waist pain, and getting very tired after standing for a long time. I would like to ask how effective the treatment for uterine fibroids is. I heard that surgical treatment can allow you to leave the hospital after just one hour.Doctor's answer:
The occurrence of uterine fibroids is related to hormonal imbalance. When the tumor is less than 5 cm, medication can be used to control the growth of the fibroid. If it exceeds 5 cm, doctors will recommend surgical treatment. Generally, a single fibroid can be removed through surgery. For patients with multiple fibroids who have not yet entered menopause, doctors may recommend hysterectomy to prevent the fibroids from growing again.
