Patient's question:
I am 28 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: What are the symptoms of uterine fibroids?Doctor's answer:
Uterine fibroids are the most common benign tumor of the female reproductive system. They are characterized by changes in menstruation, increased vaginal discharge, lower abdominal discomfort and pressure, and lower back pain. In rare cases, they may cause vaginal bleeding. The fibroid tissue can block the fallopian tube opening, potentially leading to infertility. It may be related to excessively high estrogen levels in the body, which are long-term exposed to estrogen stimulation. Treatments include acupuncture, electroacupuncture, medication, magnetic resonance therapy, etc. If the fibroid is severe with a diameter greater than 6 cm and conservative treatment is ineffective, surgical removal of the fibroid may be necessary.
