Patient's question:
In 2011, it was discovered that I had a uterine fibroid measuring 3.1 cm. Every year during check-ups, it continued to grow. It has now grown to 4.6 cm. The doctor has recommended surgery, but I don't want to have it. Additionally, it has been found that there is a cyst. There is also fluid accumulation in the drainage tubes.Doctor's answer:
The occurrence of uterine fibroids is related to hormonal imbalance. When the tumor is less than 5 cm, medication can be used to control its growth. If it exceeds 5 cm, surgical treatment is recommended. Generally, a single fibroid can be removed through surgery. For multiple fibroids, especially in patients who have not yet entered menopause, doctors may recommend hysterectomy to prevent further growth.
