Is having uterine fibroids serious?

Patient's question:

I am 29 years old this year. During my physical examination, the doctor told me that I might need to have a detailed gynecological examination, mainly focusing on the uterus. Please ask: is it serious if I have uterine fibroids?

Doctor's answer:

Uterine fibroids are not a serious disease; they are the most common type of benign tumor in the female reproductive system. Most people can carry the fibroids during pregnancy or become pregnant after treatment. However, approximately 20%-40% of uterine fibroids may affect pregnancy, especially submucosal fibroids. In your case, since you have been trying to conceive for so long without success, it is best to consider treating the uterine fibroids before attempting pregnancy.
There are several treatment options for uterine fibroids. Currently, the best treatment is magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound (MRFA). This method does not exert pressure on the body and causes minimal harm to the uterus and overall health. It also minimizes the impact on the pelvic environment, reduces the risk of adhesions after traditional surgery, and protects the reproductive aspects to the greatest extent possible.
