Multiple uterine fibroids how much need surgery

Multiple uterine fibroids generally require surgery when the diameter is ≥4cm, but the surgical indications are not only based on the size of the myoma, but also need to be judged in combination with other aspects.

Uterine fibroids are benign tumors formed by proliferation of uterine smooth muscle. In general, when the diameter is ≥4cm, it may cause obvious compression to the surrounding organs. At this time, surgery is needed. However, if the myoma has pedicle torsion, necrosis, malignant transformation, etc., even if the diameter is ≥4cm, it still needs to be surgically removed.

Patients with multiple uterine fibroids should eat less foods rich in estrogen daily, such as royal jelly, black beans, papaya, etc., to prevent the growth of myoma.
