I have uterine adenomyoma. Can this condition still be treated?

Patient's question:

I was diagnosed with uterine adenomyoma 6 years ago. Every time I have my period, my right abdomen and waist hurt terribly. I visited Hefei Provincial Hospital and took medication for 5 months. After stopping the medication, the first month was okay, but it got progressively worse. Now, I rely entirely on naproxen pain relievers to manage the pain.

Doctor's answer:

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