Patient's question:
Is it suitable to treat a 2 cm uterine fibroid with minimally invasive techniques?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, asymptomatic uterine fibroids generally do not require treatment, especially in women near menopause. Postmenopausal fibroids often shrink or gradually disappear. Follow-up every 3-6 months is recommended. Surgical treatment should be performed promptly when heavy menstrual bleeding leads to secondary anemia, severe abdominal pain, dyspareunia, when fibroids are the sole cause of infertility or recurrent miscarriage, or when there are excessive fibroids and no desire for fertility. Your uterine fibroids are 2 cm in size. If they are solitary and cause no discomfort, this situation does not require immediate treatment and can be monitored regularly. If irregular vaginal bleeding or lower abdominal pain occurs, seek medical attention promptly.
