Can women with uterine fibroids get an abdominal massage?

Patient's question:

Girls are really hardworking. My wife didn't have an easy time when she was pregnant, but at that time, it was the peak of my career, so I didn't take good care of her postpartum life. Now I want to ask, can women with uterine fibroids have abdominal massage?

Doctor's answer:

It is possible to have abdominal massage even with uterine fibroids, and the impact is not significant. Of course, if the uterine fibroids are bleeding, it is best to avoid abdominal massage. If the fibroids are small and do not show obvious clinical symptoms, abdominal massage can be performed, and generally there is not much of a problem. If the uterine fibroids are large and their growth is close to the endometrium, leading to frequent irregular bleeding, it is relatively more appropriate to undergo surgical treatment as early as possible.
