Patient's question:
A woman is 35 years old and has uterine fibroids. She has been experiencing bleeding below for the past two months. Initially, she didn't take it too seriously, but now after taking many topical medications, the bleeding has stopped. She is experiencing mild abdominal pain. She wants to know what tests should be done to check for uterine fibroid cancer.Doctor's answer:
Generally, the possibility of uterine fibroids developing cancer is very small. Uterine fibroids are usually benign, and removal is sufficient. If there is suspicion of cancer, a pathological examination can be performed after the fibroid is removed. For a thorough examination, confirmed clinical symptoms are required, along with gynecological examinations. If necessary, a colposcopy and cervical combined biopsy should be conducted to determine if it is cancerous. It is recommended that you actively treat it under the guidance of a doctor.
