Patient's question:
Hello, I am 39 years old and have uterine fibroids, which are multiple. My recent symptoms have returned. I have undergone surgery in the past, and after the surgery, my menstrual cramps improved, and my abdomen wasn't as swollen or painful. Recently, I have experienced a heavy, bloated sensation in my abdomen, which is very severe. Walking even for a short distance becomes unbearable, and I sweat profusely. I want to know which treatment method is the most effective for multiple uterine fibroids?Doctor's answer:
Hello, uterine fibroids are common benign gynecological tumors. Under normal circumstances, 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 small fibroids, it is important to undergo regular check-ups, and treatment methods such as ultrasonic, hysteroscopy, or surgery should be chosen based on symptoms and fertility requirements.
