Patient's question:
Every year, I undergo a comprehensive and thorough gynecological examination twice. Yesterday, during the examination, it was found that I have uterine fibroids, and they are not small. It is recommended that I undergo surgical treatment. I'm quite puzzled because I don't feel any discomfort at all. I'd like to consult: can uterine fibroids be felt by oneself?Doctor's answer:
I'm glad to help you solve your question. Uterine fibroids are benign tumors of the gynecology department. Early uterine fibroids will never cause physical discomfort. They are usually discovered during health checks. If the uterine fibroid is less than 5 cm, it is very easy to occur problems such as pedicle inversion or even purulent degeneration, which can cause abdominal pain and vaginal bleeding. Therefore, it has surgical indications. It is recommended to choose surgical treatment and consider minimally invasive surgery.
