Can uterine tumors recur after removal?

Fibroids can recur after myomectomy, which should be called regrowth to be exact. This is because it is impossible to have fibroids again after myomectomy. Fibroids are benign in 99.5% of cases, but there is a possibility of regrowth of fibroids in other parts of the uterus. Uterine fibroids are a common and frequent disease in gynecology, and the incidence is relatively high. The reason why fibroids occur, according to current research, is related to the level of estrogen in the body. This explains why fibroids tend to occur in women of childbearing age and have a tendency to shrink after menopause. If the patient is older than 45 years old, has anemia, and no longer has fertility requirements, hysterectomy can be considered. If the patient is younger and has fertility requirements, hysterectomy is required.
