Under what circumstances does uterine fibroids undergo malignancy?

Patient's question:

This year, during the health check-up, it was discovered that I have a uterine fibroid. I want to know under what circumstances uterine fibroids can become cancerous. I am wondering what I can do to eliminate the symptoms and receive effective treatment.

Doctor's answer:

Don't worry for now. The malignant transformation rate of uterine fibroids is only 0.5%-1%. Without knowing the current size, location, and type of your fibroid, if it is smaller than 5 cm or accompanied by symptom relief, surgery can be considered. You can opt for a non-invasive magnetic resonance ablation treatment that doesn't require compression.
This method doesn't compress, doesn't break the skin, and doesn't remove the uterus. Because it is non-invasive, it has minimal side effects and can prevent compression from causing scars and organ adhesions. This treatment differs from traditional surgery. It is very easy, with no wounds on the skin or the uterus.
If patients are facing the of uterine fibroids, we should actively implement thorough examinations and treatments without avoiding medical visits.
