Patient's question:
I used to have uterine fibroids, but they were very small, so I didn't pay attention. Today, when I went for a follow-up examination, I found that the fibroids had grown to 14 centimeters. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
This tumor is relatively large, although this type of tumor is benign, it should still be treated with surgical resection as soon as possible. When a uterine fibroid grows to the size of a fist, it can compress other organs in the pelvic cavity. Surgical removal can eliminate the condition, and larger fibroids have a higher chance of continuing to deteriorate compared to smaller ones. Uterine fibroids are the most common benign tumor of the female reproductive organs and are also the most common tumor in the human body. They are also known as fibromyomas or uterine fibromas.
