Patient's question:
Recurrent symptoms, and also have an uterine fibroid. Currently, menstruation has not stopped for half a month, with only a small amount. The ultrasound examination shows that the uterine fibroid has now increased to two, and there is an anechoic mass in the right adnexal region. How should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Hello friend, uterine fibroids are the most common benign tumor in the female pelvis. If the fibroids are small, asymptomatic, and without complications or degeneration, they generally do not require treatment. Especially for those approaching menopause, after menopause, the estrogen level drops, and the fibroids naturally shrink or disappear. Regular follow-up (every 3-6 months) is sufficient. However, if the fibroids are larger than 5 cm or have grown by 3-5 cm within 3 to 6 months, it may indicate a malignant change, and surgery is necessary (doctor's serious reminder: due to the inability to conduct face-to-face consultations with patients, a comprehensive understanding of the condition cannot be achieved. The above advice is for reference only. Specific diagnosis and treatment must be carried out at the hospital under the guidance of a doctor!
