Doctor's answer:

Hello: Uterine fibroids are the most common benign tumors in the female reproductive tract. They are formed from fibrosis of uterine smooth muscle tissue, with only a small amount of fibrous connective tissue in between. The recurrence of symptoms is closely related to the location and growth rate of the fibroids. The main manifestations include changes in menstruation, such as prolonged cycles, increased menstrual flow, and extended periods; abdominal masses. Treatment requires a comprehensive consideration of factors such as age, fertility plans, symptoms, fibroid location, size, and growth rate. If the fibroids are small and cause no symptoms, special treatment is generally not needed, and follow-up examinations should be conducted every 3-6 months. Wishing you good health!
