Is it necessary to treat uterine fibroids?

Many women are still unfamiliar with uterine fibroids. They know that it is a benign tumor that grows inside the uterus. However, many still do not know about the treatment of uterine fibroids and have some questions. One of the more focused questions is whether uterine fibroids must be treated.

Experts say that even if you have uterine fibroids, you don't need treatment. When patients find uterine fibroids, they will be very nervous and must ask the doctor for treatment. This is actually a misunderstanding of the treatment of uterine fibroids. Generally speaking, most uterine fibroids do not require treatment, or do not require immediate or active treatment.

So why can't uterine fibroids be treated? There are reasons for this. There are two principles for not treating patients with uterine fibroids: the vast majority of diseases are benign, and malignant changes are rare. If the fibroids are not large and the clinical symptoms are not obvious, treatment is generally not recommended, and we can observe. Observation is also a treatment method. Through observation, it is best to understand the growth rate of uterine fibroids and the changes in the patient's clinical symptoms. Second, if the fibroids grow to 4~5 cm and there are clinical symptoms, but the patient has reached menopause and is close to menstruation, you can also choose not to treat it. Because uterine fibroids are estrogen-dependent, the fibroids will slowly decrease after the estrogen decreases.

If a patient is found to have uterine fibroids, but the doctor says that treatment is not necessary, don't be too surprised. This is a good sign for the patient because the patient's condition is not too serious. The treatment of uterine fibroids needs to be individualized, and don't compare it with others, because everyone's situation is different.
