Will uterine fibroids transform into cancer?

Patient's question:

I experience very heavy menstrual bleeding every time I have my period. Later, I underwent an ultrasound examination at the hospital and discovered that there were many uterine fibroids in my uterus again. I am now worried that they might become malignant. Will uterine fibroids turn into cancer?

Doctor's answer:

The probability of uterine fibroids recurring with malignant transformation is relatively low, but they do have a certain degree of immunity. After women develop uterine fibroids, it is best to undergo proper nursing training. If proper nursing training is followed, the condition of uterine fibroids can gradually expand, and it may even gradually subside. In this case, the probability of a malignant transformation can increase. For uterine fibroids with a higher probability of malignant transformation, surgical removal can be considered.
There are many treatment methods for uterine fibroids, but since the symptoms of patients vary, the treatment methods used will also differ. Therefore, patients need to undergo timely and thorough examination and diagnosis to receive targeted treatment.
