Patient's question:

Doctor's answer:
Uterine fibroids, also known as leiomyomas, are a common benign tumor of the female reproductive system. When the fibroids are small, asymptomatic, without complications or degeneration, they do not interfere with health. In perimenopausal patients without clinical symptoms, it is considered that the fibroids may shrink or grow due to ovarian function decline. In such cases, expectant management can be adopted, which involves irregular follow-up and careful observation (every 3 to 6 months). Uterine fibroids are a gynecological condition that is prone to occur. During treatment, women need to pay attention to their own care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients pay close attention to maintaining external genital cleanliness and changing underwear frequently. Finally, we wish all female patients a speedy recovery!
