Is it necessary to undergo surgery if the size of uterine fibroids is found to be 55mm*50mm?

Surgery is usually recommended for uterine fibroids with a size of 55mm*50mm. The main treatment methods for uterine fibroids include laparoscopic myomectomy, open myomectomy, hysterectomy, etc. The specific treatment methods need to be comprehensively evaluated based on age, fertility needs and symptom severity.

Uterine fibroids are common benign tumors of the female reproductive system. When the diameter exceeds 50 mm, they may cause obvious clinical symptoms. This type of fibroids may cause increased menstrual flow, prolonged menstruation, and even anemia. Some patients may experience symptoms of bloating in the lower abdomen or pressure on the bladder and rectum. Clinical observation shows that when fibroids grow faster or are located under the mucosa, they are more likely to cause abnormal uterine bleeding. For middle-aged and elderly women who have completed childbirth, if they are accompanied by severe anemia or frequent urination and constipation and other compressive symptoms, doctors may recommend total hysterectomy to solve the underlying problem. Young patients who want to have children are more suitable for myomectomy, but recurrence after surgery may require regular review.

After surgery, you should pay attention to keeping the perineum clean and avoid heavy physical labor and strenuous exercise. In your diet, you should choose animal liver, spinach, etc. that are rich in iron to prevent anemia. At the same time, you should increase your intake of high-quality protein to promote wound healing. Bath bathing and sexual intercourse are prohibited within three months after surgery, and antibiotics should be used as directed by the doctor to prevent infection. Ultrasound reexamination is required every six months to observe whether there is recurrence. If abnormal bleeding or abdominal pain occurs, seek medical attention promptly. It is necessary to maintain a regular schedule in daily life and control the intake of phytoestrogens such as soy products.
