Patient's question:
Recently, I went to the hospital for a check-up and was diagnosed with a uterine fibroid measuring 1.2 cm. The doctor recommended coming back for another check-up in three months and prescribed some medication himself. Could you please advise on how to treat uterine fibroids?Doctor's answer:
Hello, uterine fibroids are generally treatable with medication and minimally invasive surgery if they are less than 7cm. However, the specific minimally invasive surgical treatment depends on the location of the fibroid. If the fibroid is not very large and does not cause any discomfort, it is recommended to have regular follow-up examinations. If the symptoms are currently significant, it is advised to seek targeted treatment at a regular hospital as soon as possible to avoid missing the best treatment window.
