Patient's question:
This year, during a thorough check-up, I found out I have uterine fibroids. The doctor asked me why I would have fibroids at such a young age, and they weren't small either? I want to ask, I'm only 23 years old, how could I get uterine fibroids, and what could be the cause?Doctor's answer:
The etiology of uterine fibroids remains unclear to this day, possibly involving complex interactions between abnormal changes in normal muscle cells, sex hormones, and local growth factors. Uterine fibroids are the most common benign tumor in female reproductive organs. You don't need to worry too much about them; intramural fibroids generally have no typical symptoms, so it's enough to undergo irregular annual follow-up examinations. Uterine fibroids are a gynecological condition that is prone to occur. During medication, women need to pay attention to their own care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients avoid sexual activity during treatment and pay close attention to cleanliness.
