Patient's question:
I went to the hospital for a check-up and was told I have uterine fibroids, which require a hysterectomy. But I really don't want to have my uterus removed. Is there any good method to treat uterine fibroids and still keep my uterus?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the treatment for uterine fibroids requires a comprehensive consideration based on the patient's age, symptoms, fertility requirements, the size and growth rate of the fibroids. If the fibroids are small, few in number, asymptomatic, or the patient is nearing menopause, conservative treatment with regular follow-up can be considered. If the fibroids are enlarging, growing rapidly, numerous, or if there are significant symptoms such as pain, heavy menstrual bleeding, or prolonged menstrual periods, surgical removal should be considered. It is recommended to choose the appropriate treatment method based on individual circumstances and follow medical advice.
