Patient's question:
A woman is 37 years old. After a thorough examination revealed an uterine fibroid, she has been undergoing medication treatment. However, during a follow-up examination, it was found that the tumor had grown. She wants to know what kind of tests are needed for uterine fibroids.Doctor's answer:
If you want to get a diagnosis, it's best to go to a professional gynecological hospital. Usually, uterine fibroids can be examined in detail with ultrasound. If you want more accurate results, you can consider color Doppler ultrasound. You can also choose magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) because it can clearly show the size, location, and number of tumors. In daily life, you can also conduct preliminary examinations based on your menstrual conditions, constipation, excessive leukorrhea, etc. Different causes lead to different symptoms. Patients need to go to a formal, top-tier hospital as soon as possible for systematic and standardized examinations to diagnose the condition and start treatment promptly for a quicker recovery.
