Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, and I'm worried it might be uterine fibroids. I'm very concerned about it affecting my fertility. Could you please advise?Doctor's answer:
Most uterine fibroids are benign, and the chance of them becoming malignant is very small. If the fibroids are small and asymptomatic, they usually do not significantly affect the body and often do not require treatment, especially for patients who have reached menopause, as their estrogen levels are low, and the fibroids can naturally shrink or disappear. Once a patient suspects or discovers they have uterine fibroids, there is no need to panic. First and foremost, it must be understood that most uterine fibroids are benign, and the chance of them becoming malignant is very small. The patient can undergo a detailed ultrasound examination to determine the location, size, and number of the fibroids, consult with patients who have undergone similar treatments, and understand them.
