Uterine fibroids 8×10cm usually need to be operated, but if the patient’s ovarian function begins to degenerate (entering menopause) and the fibroids have no malignant tendency, surgery can also be avoided.
1. Ovarian function begins to degenerate: the enlargement of uterine fibroids is mainly related to the estrogen secreted by the ovaries in women’s body, when ovarian function declines, the estrogen content in human body will be reduced, and the possibility of uterine fibroids continuing to enlarge is small. If the patients themselves do not have any adverse reactions, such as dizziness, menstrual disorders, panic attacks, etc., they can consider not to undergo the surgery.
2. Uterine fibroids without malignant tendency: uterine fibroids have the possibility of malignant transformation. When uterine fibroids undergo malignant transformation, due to the fast-growing uterine fibroids may exert certain pressure on the organs around the uterus, which may cause abdominal lumps, abnormal vaginal bleeding, leukorrhea increase and other symptoms. If the patient does not have the above symptoms, surgery may not be performed first.
Usually, uterine fibroids of 6cm need surgery, and uterine fibroids of 8×10cm, if there is no contraindication and meets the indications for surgery, it is recommended to actively undergo surgical treatment.
In addition, patients with uterine fibroids need to go to the hospital regularly for review. If patients develop adverse symptoms, they should undergo surgery in time to avoid delaying the best time for treatment. It is recommended that patients decide whether to undergo surgery according to their own situation under the guidance of doctors.
