How to treat multiple uterine fibroids? Can multiple uterine fibroids only be treated with surgery?

With the increasing incidence of uterine fibroids, more and more women are beginning to pay attention to uterine fibroids. Uterine fibroids are usually multiple, and the above different types of fibroids can occur in the same uterus at the same time, which is called multiple uterine fibroids. So, how many surgeries are needed for multiple uterine fibroids?

The exact cause of multiple uterine fibroids is still unclear, but it may be related to excessive estrogen levels in the body and long-term estrogen stimulation. Experts say that for multiple uterine fibroids, if the maximum diameter of the fibroid is less than 5 cm and there is no frequent menstruation or menorrhagia, conservative treatment can be adopted, with regular checkups and observation of the development of the fibroids; however, for infertility, treatment is recommended. If the maximum diameter of the fibroid is greater than 5 cm and accompanied by symptoms, surgery is necessary.

If multiple uterine fibroids continue to grow and are not treated, the harm they cause cannot be underestimated.

1. It can cause uterine bleeding, increased menstruation, prolonged menstrual frequency or duration, and irregular bleeding. It can cause frequent urination, dysuria, and constipation. It can cause pain, manifested as lower limb edema or neuralgia, lower abdominal and back pain. If the pelvic cavity is congested, endometrial edema can also lead to increased leucorrhea.

2. Uterine fibroids not only damage women's health, but also cause infertility, which is related to the size and location of the fibroids. For example, uterine horn fibroids can cause the fallopian tubes to twist and deform, affecting the passage of sperm or fertilized eggs, greatly reducing the chance of conception. 3. Disharmony in the sexual life of couples caused by uterine diseases is also one of the important factors in the emotional crisis of couples.

If uterine fibroids are not treated for a long time, they will not only worsen, but also make treatment more difficult. For women who have not given birth, fibroids can lead to infertility; for pregnant women with fibroids during pregnancy, they can also lead to miscarriage; in addition, they can also induce a variety of diseases and cause harm to the body, and even cervical cancer in severe cases, so you should pay attention.

Therefore, if women find menstrual changes, abdominal mass, increased vaginal discharge, pain, compression symptoms, infertility, anemia and other symptoms in their daily lives, they should remain vigilant and go to the hospital for relevant gynecological examinations in time. This is crucial to eliminating uterine fibroids. Attention must be paid to strive for early detection, early treatment, and early recovery of the disease.
