Patient's question:
I used to have uterine fibroids when I was very young, but I didn't pay attention to it. 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 further deterioration compared to smaller ones. Uterine fibroids are the most common type of benign tumor in female reproductive organs and are also the most common tumor in the human body. They are also known as fibromyomas or uterine fibromas.
