How big is the uterine fibroid before surgery?

At what size can uterine fibroids be operated on?

1. Uterine fibroids can only be operated on if they are larger than two centimeters.

2. Uterine fibroids are a common benign tumor disease, and their cause may be related to abnormal hormone levels in the body, genetic factors, etc. If the disease is in the early stage, the diameter of the uterine fibroids is relatively small, not exceeding two centimeters. At this time, the patient may not be aware of symptoms, and the impact on health is not great. No intervention can be done temporarily, or oral medication can be taken under the guidance of a doctor to control the development of the disease. The more common drugs are usually Guizhi Fuling Capsules, Dangui Capsules, Xiaojie'an Capsules, etc.

3. If the diameter of the uterine fibroid exceeds 2 cm and there are obvious clinical symptoms, such as increased menstrual flow, shortened menstrual cycle, etc., or if there is a recent desire to have children, it can be treated surgically, such as open abdominal myomectomy, laparoscopic myomectomy, etc. If the diameter of the uterine fibroid exceeds 5 cm or is suspected of malignant transformation, it needs to be completely treated by hysterectomy.

4. Patients need to go to a regular hospital for gynecological treatment in time. They need to undergo ultrasound and MRI examinations to determine the development of the disease and choose appropriate treatment methods under the doctor's advice. In the process of cooperating with the doctor's treatment, they should also pay attention to maintaining a good mood and avoid excessive tension.
