It is possible to remove uterine fibroids at the same time as removing an intrauterine device. Generally, uterine fibroids are benign and do not necessarily require surgical removal. If the fibroids grow rapidly, direct excision may be performed. The decision should be based on the severity of the condition and the patient's preferences. It is recommended that patients seek treatment at a正规 medical institution.
