Patient's question:
Female, 46 years old, in good health. Five years ago, a 1 cm tumor was detected. In recent years, I haven't paid attention to it. A few days ago, during my follow-up check, I found that the tumor had grown to 3.9 cm x 3.0 cm. There are no other symptoms, but my period comes 4-5 days earlier than usual. The doctor recommended surgery.Doctor's answer:
It's better for you to have surgery, because the surgical indications for uterine fibroids are patients with a uterus enlarged to the size of two and a half months of pregnancy, obvious symptoms, and secondary anemia. Your uterine fibroid is already 4 cm in size, and you also have obvious menstrual abnormalities and symptoms of secondary anemia. Therefore, it is recommended to have surgery early to avoid serious complications.
