Patient's question:
More than two years after the divorce, I was carefully diagnosed with uterine fibroids, but I don't have any children yet. How can uterine fibroids be completely eliminated?Doctor's answer:
Uterine fibroids are relatively common solid tumors in women, with an incidence rate of about 20%. Whether uterine fibroids can heal on their own or be cured with medication is a question that concerns many people. In obstetrics and gynecology, there is no particularly effective method to prevent uterine fibroids from growing or disappearing, because uterine fibroids are formed by fibrosis in the smooth muscle alliance. Therefore, medication cannot cure them. Surgical methods can remove the fibroids. However, medication can only make the fibroids grow, failing to achieve the goal of a complete cure, unless the fibroids are benign or very small in size. After menopause, fibroids may grow larger or even disappear.
