Patient's question:
At the age of 35, I have uterine fibroids. This condition has been affecting me for some time, but the symptoms are not very obvious.Doctor's answer:
Generally, fibroids smaller than 5 centimeters that do not cause symptoms such as 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 advisable to have a hysterectomy to prevent the fibroids from growing back.
