Patient's question:
Female, 51 years old, with uterine fibroids for ten years, now measuring 6250mm. She regularly undergoes ultrasound examinations at the local hospital. During her menstrual periods, she only experiences mild discomfort, but there is a significant amount of bleeding on the second day. She does not have anemia.Doctor's answer:
Whether uterine fibroids require surgery depends on a comprehensive consideration. It involves factors such as age, fertility requirements, the size of the fibroids, the type of uterine fibroids, and the presence of obvious symptoms, among others. There are multiple surgical options available, such as laparoscopic surgery, open surgery, interventional therapy, uterine artery embolization, radiofrequency ablation, and so on. In summary, surgical methods are diverse, and many are not the traditional open type. A treatment plan needs to be tailored to the specific situation.
