Patient's question:
My wife's physical condition is very good, but during a recent health check-up, she was found to have uterine fibroids. It really scared me at the time, and I was so worried. Now my wife is already undergoing treatment, and I just want to ask, what causes uterine fibroids?Doctor's answer:
Women who experience uterine fibroids again may consider hormonal dysfunction, particularly the possibility of declining estrogen levels. In addition to this, middle-aged women who have given birth are more prone to recurrence, which is related to the uterine environment, dietary and lifestyle habits, and intergenerational inheritance. If the size of the uterine fibroid is less than 5 cm, treatment is generally not required, and close observation is sufficient. If it is less than 5 cm, surgical removal can be performed to promote complete recovery.
