Patient's question:
Can a 7.3 cm uterine fibroid be treated with minimally invasive surgery? I am 27 years old and have one child.Doctor's answer:
Treatment of Uterine Fibroids: A comprehensive decision should be made based on factors such as the patient's age, symptoms, the size of the fibroids, fertility status, and overall health condition. Generally, if the fibroids are smaller than 8 weeks of pregnancy, without obvious symptoms, or if the uterus is smaller than 12 weeks of pregnancy in women near menopause, with normal menstruation and no pressure symptoms, temporary observation may be considered. It is recommended to have a follow-up examination every 3 months. Usually, fibroids can gradually shrink after menopause. If the fibroids enlarge or symptoms become significant during the follow-up period, surgical treatment should be considered.
