How much does myoma need to be surgically removed?

Uterine myoma is a benign tumor formed by proliferation of uterine smooth muscle tissue. Usually, uterine myoma is too large to compress bladder, rectum or ureter, resulting in severe frequent urination, constipation, urinary retention and other symptoms. Therefore, surgery is needed when uterine myoma is single diameter> 5cm or more than three myomas with diameter ≥ 4cm. However,

surgery for uterine myoma is not only determined according to the size of uterine myoma, but also according to the patient's age, fertility needs, clinical symptoms, etc. If the patient has severe abdominal pain, sexual pain or chronic abdominal pain for a long time, it may be due to acute abdominal pain caused by torsion of uterine myoma pedicle. At this time, surgery is needed regardless of the size of uterine myoma.
