Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I am 44 years old this year, and I have had uterine fibroids for a while. It hurts a lot every time my period comes, and my period is also quite heavy. It's also very irregular. The size of the uterine fibroid is about 4 centimeters. The doctor asked me to have surgery, but I don't want to have surgery. I heard that the harm brought by surgical treatment is very great.Doctor's answer:
When the tumor is less than 5CM, medication can be used to control the growth of fibroids. If it exceeds 5CM, the doctor will recommend surgical treatment. Generally, a single fibroid can be removed through surgery. If the patient has multiple fibroids and has not yet entered menopause, the doctor may recommend hysterectomy to prevent the fibroids from growing again.
