When to perform uterine fibroid surgery

Any surgery, including uterine fibroid surgery, is harmful to the patient's body, so it should be avoided as much as possible. Whether uterine fibroid surgery is needed depends on the patient's actual situation. Here we will briefly introduce it to you.

1. For perimenopausal women, if the uterine fibroids are small and without any symptoms, they can live with the tumors, but they need to be followed up every 3 to 6 months. In addition, as estrogen levels decrease, uterine fibroids may shrink naturally.

2. If the uterus is larger than two and a half months of pregnancy, or the number of uterine fibroids is more than 5, or there are complications such as excessive menstrual bleeding, constipation, frequent urination, etc., uterine fibroid surgery must be performed as soon as possible to remove the uterine fibroids.

3. Although some uterine fibroids are not large, they may cause ascites and pleural effusion, and they also need to be removed as soon as possible. Especially uterine fibroids grow rapidly in a short period of time and may become cancerous, so they must be removed as soon as possible.
