How big is a uterine fibroid?

21mmx19mm is a relatively small uterine fibroid. If there are no other discomfort symptoms, it generally does not require special treatment and regular check-ups are sufficient.

Uterine fibroids are a common benign tumor in women, formed by the proliferation of uterine muscle cells. Uterine fibroids of 21mmx19mm are relatively small. If there are no clinical symptoms, they generally do not require treatment. With long-term follow-up observation, some women may gradually shrink after menopause as estrogen and progesterone levels decrease. If the size of uterine fibroids gradually increases and corresponding clinical symptoms appear, such as increased menstrual flow, it may cause anemia. In this case, intervention treatment is required, and surgical treatment can be selected. The effect of general drug treatment is not very good.

If the uterine fibroid grows more than 6cm within 6 months, or the internal echo of the uterine fibroid is uneven and the blood flow is rich, surgery is required as soon as possible. For women who want to have children, uterine fibroid removal can be performed, and for women who do not want to retain their fertility, hysterectomy can be considered.
