Can uterine fibroids be effectively treated without surgery?

Patient's question:

Hello doctor, I am a uterine fibroid patient, and I am 40 years old. I have had uterine fibroids for ten years. Now I have found two fibroids, and their changes in these years have not been very large. It is very scary to get uterine fibroids, and I feel quite terrible, so I don't want to have surgical treatment more. I want to be cured through medication.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, uterine fibroids are common benign gynecological tumors. In general, fibroids less than 5 cm in size can be treated conservatively, as they may shrink on their own when estrogen levels in the body decline. Fibroids larger than 5 cm require surgical removal. For small fibroids, it is important to undergo regular check-ups. Treatment methods such as ultrasonic, hysteroscopy, or surgery can be chosen based on symptoms and whether there are fertility requirements.
