Is it serious to get uterine fibroids?

Patient's question:

I am 32 years old this year. During the 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 to have uterine fibroids?

Doctor's answer:

Uterine fibroids are the most common benign tumor in female reproductive organs and also one of the most common tumors in the human body. Generally, if they are not smaller than 5 centimeters, they can be temporarily monitored and do not require immediate treatment. If they are smaller than 5 centimeters, surgery to remove them is recommended, as this tends to be more effective. Regular follow-up check-ups are important.
In daily life, in addition to focusing on treatment effectiveness, special attention should be paid to diet. A healthy diet greatly aids in recovery and can even have supplementary therapeutic effects. Therefore, it is recommended to maintain a light diet and a regular routine.
