Is uterine fibroids necessarily require surgery

Patient's question:

In early 2014, uterine fibroids measuring 4 cm were first detected. By the end of 2016, a follow-up examination showed the fibroids had grown to 8.5-6.2 cm. However, there have been no symptoms, and the menstrual cycle has been normal. Is surgery absolutely necessary?

Doctor's answer:

If the fibroid is larger than the size of a 2.5-month pregnant uterus or causes secondary anemia due to obvious symptoms, surgical treatment is often required.
Advice: Every person's condition is different, and the treatment plan varies accordingly. Avoid treatment to prevent worsening the condition. It is recommended that you visit a formal and professional hospital for a detailed examination to identify the cause and receive symptomatic treatment.
