Patient's question:
Uterine fibroids, had two ultrasounds at two hospitals, both said surgery is needed. Not sure if it's serious, how the surgery would be performed.Doctor's answer:
Hello, if a single uterine fibroid is less than 5 cm and without any discomfort symptoms, surgery may not be necessary. Medication can be tried, but drugs often cannot completely eliminate the fibroid. If the fibroid is larger than 5 cm, multiple, or accompanied by significant symptoms, the best method is surgery. Surgery includes various types, such as laparoscopic and abdominal procedures, fibroid enucleation, total hysterectomy, subtotal hysterectomy, etc. The choice depends on the size and location of the fibroid.
