Patient's question:
I am a 49-year-old woman. Three months ago, a thorough examination revealed a tendency to develop uterine fibroids. I am particularly concerned about the potential negative impact on my health. I would like to ask what are the causes of uterine fibroids?Doctor's answer:
The incidence of uterine fibroids is relatively high, and the etiology has not yet been clearly determined. It may be related to chronic gynecological inflammation. If the fibroids are small and no significant symptoms have recurred, they can be temporarily left untreated, with periodic follow-up examinations at the hospital. However, if the fibroids are severe or relatively large, surgical treatment may be necessary to achieve the goal of recovery.
