How are uterine fibroids treated

Patient's question:

The uterine fibroids have been removed, but it is said that there are still vascular fibroids.

Doctor's answer:

Uterine fibroids can develop into uterine sarcoma, with a possibility of malignancy, but the chance is very small. Regular gynecological examinations and ultrasound checks should be conducted to determine the size of the fibroids. Medications such as mifepristone can be taken. If the size of the uterine fibroids exceeds 5 cm, or if the symptoms are significant enough to cause secondary anemia, surgical treatment can be considered.
