Patient's question:
I am 35 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 uterine fibroids a serious disease?Doctor's answer:
Actually, uterine fibroids are very common in gynecological diseases. Some women with uterine fibroids have no symptoms. Uterine fibroids are more common in women of childbearing age, with an incidence rate ranging from 40% to 60%. Many people have uterine fibroids. If you have asymptomatic uterine fibroids, don't worry. We can follow up for a careful observation. However, some uterine fibroids may cause symptoms, such as submucosal fibroids, which protrude into the uterine cavity. These patients may experience changes in leukorrhea and menstrual irregularities. In severe cases, patients may suffer from severe anemia. Such uterine fibroids require treatment.
