Do I need surgery if my fibroids are deep in the uterus?

I am 42 years old, my menstrual cycle usually lasts 7-10 days and is irregular, not fixed every month. A week ago, I went to the doctor and he diagnosed me with a fibroid that is deep in the uterus. Doctor, do I need surgery or can I just take medicine and it will go away?

Hello!

It seems that you have been diagnosed with uterine fibroids along with irregular and prolonged menstrual periods. In essence, if it is uterine fibroids, the possibility of them being benign is very high and quite common in women over 35 years old.

Usually, treatment is only required when this tumor causes complications such as: menorrhagia, metrorrhagia, infertility, pain, compression of surrounding organs... In your case, you have mild menorrhagia, which could be due to this tumor (just a possibility).

When developing a treatment plan, doctors usually use medical methods (medication) first, and only then will surgery be required if there is no improvement. So it is best to go to a reputable gynecological clinic for a suitable treatment plan!
