Under what circumstances can uterine fibroids be operated on? Surgical treatment of uterine fibroids

There are many female friends suffering from uterine fibroids in life. The occurrence of the disease brings certain hidden dangers to women's health, so timely treatment is critical. At present, surgery is a common method for treating uterine fibroids, but not every patient is suitable for surgical treatment. It depends on the size of the patient's uterine fibroids. So how big is the uterine fibroid that requires surgery?

Women with uterine fibroids can undergo surgery, but it is best not to undergo surgery. Women with uterine fibroids should go to the hospital for examination and choose the appropriate treatment method according to the specific situation. If the patient's uterine fibroids grow rapidly, some uterine fibroids grow too fast, or after menopause, as the estrogen level decreases, the fibroids will not shrink but grow larger, and surgery is needed as soon as possible.

Generally speaking, if the fibroid is larger than 5.0cm, the condition is more serious and needs to be removed surgically in time. The specific treatment plan needs to be determined according to the individual's age, clinical manifestations and endocrine conditions. But in general, if the fibroid is larger than 3cm and has a rich blood supply, surgery should be performed as soon as possible.

When do women need surgery to treat uterine fibroids? The decision is based on the patient's symptoms, the amount of bleeding, the location and size of the fibroids, and whether it affects fertility. If the uterine fibroids grow on the uterine muscle wall and uterine serosa and are smaller than 3 cm, no surgery is required. However, if the location of the uterine fibroids has certain risks, surgery should be performed as soon as possible. If the uterine fibroids are larger than 3 cm and have a rich blood supply, surgery should be performed as soon as possible.

For those smaller than 5.0cm, conservative treatment can be used. In addition, regular check-ups are required. Once the uterine fibroids are found to be larger, surgical removal should be performed in a timely manner.
