Is it okay if there’s still a 1-centimeter fibroid after the removal?

Fibroids that have been removed and are still 1 cm in size can usually be controlled and may not be a problem. However, in rare cases, the fibroid may continue to grow and there may not be any problem, so it is recommended that the patient undergoes regular postoperative checkups. When a female patient develops uterine fibroids, if there is still 1 cm of residual fibroids after myomectomy, she can be observed and treated with regular checkups. If the condition does not continue to progress and the residual fibroids do not continue to grow, there is generally no need for any special treatment, and there may be no problem. After myomectomy, a few patients may not be fine if the 1 cm residual fibroid continues to grow faster and reaches more than 5 cm in a short period of time, which may cause obvious compression to the surrounding tissues, and may cause symptoms such as increased menstrual flow, prolonged menstruation period, and abdominal pain, etc., which may cause certain danger to the health of the female patients.
