Uterine artery embolization

Patient's question:

Uterine adenomyoma combined with adenomyosis, adenomyoma measuring 9 cm, underwent uterine artery embolization at Wuhan Union Hospital six months ago.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, uterine fibroids are common benign gynecological tumors. In general, fibroids less than 5 centimeters in size can be treated conservatively, as they may shrink on their own when estrogen levels in the body decline. Fibroids larger than 5 centimeters require surgical removal. For smaller fibroids, it is important to undergo regular check-ups. Treatment methods such as ultrasonic, hysteroscopy, or surgery can be chosen based on symptoms and whether there are fertility requirements.
