Patient's question:
A good friend went to the hospital for a gynecological health check-up. The doctor said there was uterine smooth muscle. What is uterine smooth?Doctor's answer:
Uterine leiomyomas, also known as benign tumors in gynecology, are relatively common. They are primarily formed by the abnormal fibrosis of uterine smooth muscle cells, including smooth muscle and interstitial cells. The exact cause of the disease is currently unclear. Leiomyomas can also enlarge after menopause. Uterine leiomyomas are mainly related to estrogen in the body and are also common benign tumors in women. Whether it's leiomyomas or uterine leiomyomas, if they are currently small, irregular follow-up checks can be performed. After menopause, they will gradually enlarge. The cause of the disease is generally considered to be closely related to cell mutation, sex hormones, and local growth factors. If uterine leiomyomas are manageable, irregular follow-up can be conducted. If the uterine leiomyomas gradually decrease, surgery can be performed to completely restore treatment.
