Patient's question:
I am a 90-year-old female with poor mental state. I feel sick. After checking, it was determined to be a certain disease. Please ask: Can uterine fibroids transform into cancer?Doctor's answer:
Uterine fibroids are benign tumors, and they rarely, if ever, recur as cancerous conditions. This is a question that some people often ask because it is a tumor, and some of them grow to be very large. Since it is benign, it can grow. If it were a malignant tumor, it might not grow as large, and it would likely lead to a series of other problems. Therefore, uterine fibroids are benign tumors that basically do not transform into cancer. Generally, if you discover that you have uterine fibroids, it is usually recommended to have a follow-up check-up every six months or a year. If any issues are found, or if malignant conditions arise, it is advised to consult a specialist doctor for treatment or to undergo surgery for a complete cure.
