How is it that a uterine fibroid is 22.2 cm here

Patient's question:

Currently, under normal circumstances: 2.22.2cm
Medical history: Uterine fibroids

Doctor's answer:

Hello:
Medication treatment, mainly the use of hormones, is not very effective. It is recommended that you consider surgical treatment. Moreover, if the fibroid is smaller than 3 cm and there are no accompanying symptoms, treatment may not be necessary. You can have a B-ultrasound examination at the hospital every 3-6 months to monitor the condition of the fibroid.
If the fibroid is larger than 5 cm or there are significant accompanying symptoms, such as changes in menstruation (e.g., shorter cycles, heavier bleeding, prolonged periods, or irregular vaginal bleeding), it is recommended to consider non-invasive ultrasound ablation. This method is minimally invasive with very few side effects, avoiding scars and organ adhesion caused by surgery.
