Myoma is usually 6 cm in diameter and requires surgery.
Myoma less than 5 cm in diameter usually does not require surgery, while 6 cm above the threshold indicates that the myoma is relatively large and will form pressure on the surrounding tissues. Patients may experience uncomfortable symptoms such as lower abdominal discomfort, increased vaginal secretions, and diarrhea, which may affect their normal life and are not conducive to their health. Therefore, it is necessary to diagnose uterine fibroids about 6 cm, which need to be treated by surgery. Common surgical methods usually include laparotomy, laparoscopic surgery, hysteroscopic surgery, etc.
