Patient's question:
I have been married for many years, and I have irregular menstruation and vaginal bleeding. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, I was diagnosed with uterine fibroids. What are the symptoms of uterine fibroids?Doctor's answer:
Uterine fibroids, as a common benign tumor of the gynecological system, may show no symptoms in the early stages and are often discovered during routine gynecological health checks. Some individuals may experience recurrent functional bleeding, prolonged menstruation, or spotting. They may also face infertility. If you suspect the presence of uterine fibroids, it is recommended to undergo a gynecological ultrasound examination at a local hospital. Note that you should hold your urine before the examination—once there is enough urine, the examination is usually able to detect the fibroids. Treatment typically requires surgical intervention, as medication is generally ineffective. Wishing you good health.
