Patient's question:
Hello, I am from Anhui. I am 53 years old this year. Lately, I have been feeling unwell and went to the hospital for a check-up. The doctor said I have uterine fibroids. The doctor mentioned that this is a type of benign tumor. I would like to ask the experts what should I do about uterine fibroids? Can it be cured? What treatment methods can help? I hope the experts can help me. Thank you.Doctor's answer:
Uterine fibroids are common benign gynecological tumors. In general, fibroids smaller than 5 centimeters can be treated conservatively, as they may shrink on their own when estrogen levels in the body decline. Uterine 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 fertility requirements.
