Can uterine fibroids be treated without surgery?

Patient's question:

Hello doctor, I am a uterine fibroid patient, and I am 40 years old. I have had uterine fibroids for ten years. Now I have found two fibroids, and their changes in these years have not been very large. It is quite frightening to have uterine fibroids, and I feel quite scared, so I don't want to have surgical treatment. I would like to be cured through medication.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, uterine fibroids are common benign gynecological tumors. Under normal circumstances, fibroids less than 5 centimeters in size can be treated conservatively, as they may shrink on their own when estrogen levels in the body decline. Uterine fibroids larger than 5 centimeters require surgical removal. For small fibroids, it is important to undergo regular check-ups, and treatment methods such as ultrasonic, hysteroscopy, or surgery should be chosen based on symptoms and fertility needs.
