Patient's question:
Because I always have a very heavy menstrual flow during my period and also experience abdominal pain during my period, I went to the hospital for a check-up. After the examination, the doctor said it was caused by a uterine fibroid disease. What is a uterine fibroid type IV?Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on your description, uterine fibroids are not a very serious condition, and there is no need to worry too much. This is a relatively common issue in gynecology. Uterine fibroids are also known as leiomyomas of the uterus, and the exact cause is not very clear. It is generally considered to be related to cellular mutation, sex hormones, and local growth factors. If the fibroids are small, they can be monitored with follow-up observations. If the fibroids are larger, surgical treatment can be considered. I hope this helps. Wishing you good health.
