Patient's question:
Female, 46 years old. Three years ago, a check-up revealed multiple uterine fibroids measuring 3.2 cm. She has not received any treatment. Current examination shows fibroids measuring 7.1 cm to 6.0 cm with mild pressure sensation. She experiences pain during physical exertion or before her period. Height: 1.63 meters, Weight: 169 pounds. Blood pressure is slightly elevated, and she has pelvic inflammation.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 the growth of the fibroid. If it exceeds 5 cm, doctors will recommend surgical treatment. Generally, a single fibroid can be removed through surgery. For multiple fibroids in patients who have not yet entered menopause, doctors may recommend hysterectomy to prevent the fibroids from growing again.
