According to your description, typically, what we refer to as uterine fibroids are actually leiomyomas of the uterus. Their growth locations vary, including subserous fibroids, intramural fibroids, submucosal fibroids, cervical fibroids, or broad ligament fibroids, among others. However, what you said about a tumor growing in the uterus is also correct. Uterine fibroids are a type of benign tumor, so there is no need to worry excessively. Please maintain an optimistic and positive mindset to cooperate with your doctor's treatment. Through traditional Chinese medicine and herbal remedies, you can achieve self-healing. Eat more fruits and vegetables, and avoid spicy and irritating foods. In addition to immediate treatment, uterine fibroid patients should also pay attention to maintaining a proper diet in daily life to digest nutrients well.
