Patient's question:
I have had uterine fibroids for many years, and recent tests show they have grown. I don't want surgery, so can minimally invasive surgery be done?Doctor's answer:
Hello; generally, uterine fibroids smaller than 5 centimeters are not recommended for surgery. After menopause, small uterine fibroids may shrink and disappear on their own. Fibroids larger than 5 centimeters that accompany menstrual symptoms must be surgically removed. Your condition is abnormal; it is recommended to undergo an ultrasound and a six-panel sex hormone test to determine the cause and receive symptomatic treatment.
