Does uterine fibroid surgery have to be performed 3-5 days after menstruation?

Patient's question:

In May 2013, my menstrual cycle was abnormal. It lasted for about 20 days, ending only from May 17th to June 8th. On June 23rd, after an examination at Suzhou Jiulong Hospital, the results indicated that it was between benign and malignant, and surgery was necessary.

Doctor's answer:

The occurrence of uterine fibroids is related to hormonal imbalance. Generally, fibroids smaller than 5 centimeters that do not cause frequent menstruation or excessive menstrual flow do not require surgery and can be treated with medication to control their growth. Fibroids larger than 5 centimeters are usually recommended for surgical treatment. A single fibroid can often be removed through surgery. For multiple fibroids, especially in patients who have not yet entered menopause, it is recommended to remove the uterus to prevent the fibroids from growing back.
