Do multiple uterine fibroids require surgery?

Whether multiple uterine fibroids require surgery should be determined based on the specific situation. If a single fibroid appears and there are no other discomfort symptoms in the body, surgery is generally not required. If there are two or more fibroids growing in different locations and accompanied by discomfort symptoms, surgery is usually required.

Multiple uterine fibroids are the most common benign tumors in the female reproductive system and one of the most common tumors in the human body. Multiple uterine fibroids are caused by the proliferation of uterine smooth muscle cells. Taking into account estrogen secretion, ovarian function, hormone metabolism and other reasons, if a single fibroid appears in the body, there are no other abnormal symptoms and surgery is generally not required. If there are more than two fibroids in the body, these fibroids grow in different locations, causing the patient to have abnormal vaginal discharge, lower abdominal pain and other symptoms, surgery is usually required. Surgical treatments generally include myomectomy, high-energy focused ultrasound, etc.

After the operation, patients should rest in bed, avoid staying up late and physical labor, maintain appropriate temperature, open windows for ventilation frequently, add or remove clothes in time according to weather changes, avoid colds, and pay attention to personal hygiene. Sexual intercourse and bathing are prohibited within three months. Avoid eating cold, greasy, spicy and irritating foods such as ice cream, peppers, fried chicken, etc. If there are other discomfort symptoms, go to the hospital in time.
