Does a 7cm uterine fibroid require surgery?

Uterine fibroids can have a great impact on women. The occurrence of this type of disease can cause some uncomfortable symptoms, such as abnormal uterine bleeding, excessive leucorrhea, pain, etc., and can cause symptoms of menstrual disorders. Patients should diagnose the disease in time and then choose appropriate treatment according to the condition. So, does a uterine fibroid of 7cm require surgical treatment?

If the uterine fibroids are already 7cm, surgical treatment should be adopted immediately. Because uterine fibroids larger than 5cm need to be treated surgically in time. If the treatment opportunity is delayed, the uterine fibroids will grow larger and may continue to increase the possibility of lesions, which may threaten the patient's health and even life. Therefore, in order to prevent the patient's condition from worsening, patients who have been diagnosed with serious conditions should actively adopt symptomatic treatment plans for surgical treatment. This can ensure better treatment effects and avoid unbearable adverse effects due to blind treatment or missing the best treatment opportunity.

There are generally two surgical treatment plans for uterine fibroids, including: myomectomy and hysterectomy. Patients can choose hysteroscopy or laparoscopy for surgical treatment. The surgical method to be used and the surgical method should be determined based on factors such as the patient's age, whether there is a need for pregnancy, the size of the uterine fibroids, and its growth location. As long as the patient goes to a hospital with better medical treatment conditions and finds an experienced doctor to help him diagnose and treat himself, the treatment effect can be more prominent and it will not affect the patient's future reproductive function. If the patient has no fertility, he can also inform the doctor in advance, which can help to better treat the disease.

Patients with uterine fibroids must not delay treatment, otherwise the uterine fibroids will grow larger, and the risks and harms caused will also increase. Patients should have regular follow-up visits, especially after surgery, to prevent the occurrence of symptoms. In addition, they should carry out medical care after surgery, especially avoid excessive fatigue and pay attention to rest.
