Do multiple uterine fibroids require surgery? How big does a uterine fibroid need to be to require surgical treatment?

Menstrual changes, abdominal lumps, increased leucorrhea, abdominal pain and backache, compression symptoms, infertility, secondary anemia, etc. are all common early signs of uterine fibroids, but because many women ignore the silent changes in their bodies, fibroids become larger and larger. So how much uterine fibroids need surgical treatment?

Multiple uterine fibroids are the most common benign tumors in the female reproductive system, mostly occurring between the ages of 35 and 50. Uterine fibroids are usually multiple, and the above different types of fibroids can occur simultaneously in the same uterus, which is called multiple uterine fibroids.

Uterine fibroids are a common benign tumor that generally does not require surgical treatment. However, in some cases, such as when uterine fibroids grow very quickly to a certain diameter, when uterine fibroids worsen, when uterine fibroids cause infertility, etc., surgical treatment of uterine fibroids must be used to avoid worsening of the disease.

Many patients do not know that multiple uterine fibroids require surgical treatment. The following are the surgical indications for uterine fibroids:

1. The diameter of a single fibroid exceeds 6 cm; the uterus of the fibroid patient is enlarged beyond that of a 10-week gestational uterus.

Severe abdominal pain, dyspareunia, chronic abdominal pain, acute abdominal pain due to torsion of pedicled fibroids.

There are symptoms of bladder and rectal compression.

4. Determine if fibroids are causing infertility or recurrent miscarriage.

5. The fibroids grow rapidly and are suspected to be malignant.

6. After multiple menstrual episodes secondary to anemia, drug treatment is ineffective.

From the above introduction, when the diameter of multiple uterine fibroids reaches 6cm or more, surgical treatment is required.
