Patient's question:
Uterine fibroids, often experience lower back pain and feel easily tired. I have consulted other doctors about uterine fibroids, and the answers were all that surgery is possible. Considering my age of 51, it is recommended to monitor the condition and let us make the decision ourselves. The fibroid is relatively large, and I am wondering if surgery is necessary?Doctor's answer:
Uterine fibroids smaller than 5 cm can be treated with medication to control their growth. If they exceed 5 cm, doctors may recommend surgical treatment. Generally, a single fibroid can be removed through surgery. For patients with multiple fibroids who have not yet entered menopause, doctors may advise removing the entire uterus to prevent further growth.
