How much enlargement of the uterus must be removed

How enlarged is the uterus when it must be removed? Uterine enlargement is relatively common in clinical medicine. The main cause of uterine enlargement is related to the number of births, and is also related to some primary uterine vascular diseases. After the symptoms of uterine enlargement occur, patients need to adopt treatment methods based on their own conditions and under the doctor's advice. Does an enlarged uterus need to be removed?

Generally speaking, if the uterus is enlarged, conservative treatment plans can be adopted. Appropriate use of androgens for treatment can greatly improve the patient's symptoms. However, if conservative treatment is ineffective, hysterectomy should be adopted. The enlarged uterus itself will not have much impact on the patient, but some of the symptoms caused by the enlarged uterus will seriously affect the patient's food, clothing, housing, transportation, and physical and mental health. For example, patients with an enlarged uterus will have excessive menstrual flow and it will last for a very long time. Due to long-term bleeding and excessive bleeding, patients may experience anemia symptoms.

Under normal circumstances, a gynecological examination will reveal that the patient's uterus is evenly enlarged, and the size is generally around the sixth week of pregnancy. Only a very small number of patients will have a uterus of the same size as at eight weeks of pregnancy. Therefore, most patients can undergo hysterectomy, but for patients under the age of 50, the patient's uterus and ovaries should be preserved as much as possible, which can slow down the patient's decline. In daily life, female friends should actively prevent the occurrence of uterine enlargement in all aspects. For example, if there is a gynecological disease, treatment should be sought in time.

In general, the uterus usually grows to a size that is between six and eight weeks of pregnancy, and rarely grows larger. If the condition of uterine enlargement is serious and has already had a great impact on the patient's life and health, and severe anemia symptoms have appeared, total hysterectomy should be performed as soon as possible. Patients who have undergone total hysterectomy must pay attention to recuperation and resume work and life after their bodies have been fully adjusted.
