How big is the uterine fibroid that requires surgery? What are the contraindications after fibroid surgery?

1. With the quickening pace of life, modern women often do not have enough time to pay attention to their health because they are busy with work during the day and taking care of children at night.

2. Statistics show that 20% of women over 30 years old suffer from uterine fibroids. According to experts, most fibroid patients have no obvious symptoms and are only occasionally found during physical examinations, which has a great impact on women's normal life.

How big a uterine fibroid should I have to be to undergo surgery?

1. Experts point out that the treatment of uterine fibroids depends on the specific situation of the patient, and the size of the fibroids is only one aspect.

2. Whether the patient needs surgery also depends on factors such as the nature, number, growth location, speed, age, and fertility requirements of the uterine fibroids.

3. Generally speaking, when the fibroids are smaller than 4 CM and the patient has no obvious symptoms, follow-up observation can be chosen every 3 to 6 months; for patients with larger fibroids (4 CM) and fast-growing ones, drug treatment often has little effect.

4. Surgical treatment is mostly used for patients with large fibroids and those that grow too fast. Surgical treatment of uterine fibroids is divided into abdominal surgery and minimally invasive surgery.

5. The laparotomy for uterine fibroids includes total hysterectomy and myomectomy. However, since laparotomy is required, it may damage other tissues in the body and affect women's normal condition.

With the development of minimally invasive gynecological surgery, most patients are aware of minimally invasive treatments that preserve the uterus and remove fibroids.
