Is it common for unmarried women to have uterine fibroids?

Patient's question:

My aunt was carefully examined for uterine fibroids a few weeks ago. Is it common for married women to have uterine fibroids?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, it is also quite common for married women to have uterine fibroids. Your aunt is 29 years old and was recently found to have uterine fibroids during a thorough examination. She has not been married or had children yet, and this is also a very common gynecological condition. If her uterine fibroids are small, they will not affect her ability to conceive and get pregnant. However, if the fibroids are larger, greater than five centimeters, then surgical treatment will be required.
