Patient's question:
My uterine fibroids have grown after the ultrasound. How should I treat them? Will removing the uterus be the same as being a man? Will I lose sexual life with my partner? Please; how should I treat uterine fibroids?Doctor's answer:
Uterine fibroids are a common gynecological disease, most of which are benign tumors. However, it cannot be ruled out that uterine fibroids may become malignant. The recurrence of uterine fibroids is related to long-term excessive estrogen levels leading to endocrine disorders. If the size of the fibroid is no more than 2 centimeters, it should not interfere with pregnancy. The impact on pregnancy depends on the location of the fibroid growth: if the fibroid is only located in the muscular wall, it has little effect on pregnancy. If the fibroid grows at the opening of the fallopian tube, it may affect pregnancy, and in this case, it may manifest as an increase in menstrual flow. If a person is diagnosed with uterine fibroids, timely treatment should be sought, such as radiofrequency ablation, which does not require an abdominal incision. The surgery is performed under the full monitoring of a screen.
