Patient's question:
I previously hadn't been able to get pregnant, so I underwent a thorough examination at the hospital and discovered that I had uterine fibroids. Since the fibroids weren't large, I hadn't undergone surgical treatment. The doctor has prescribed medication to control them. However, when I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up last week, the doctor said that the uterine fibroids had fibrosed. Is uterine fibrosis the same as expansion?Doctor's answer:
The hospital conducted a thorough examination and confirmed the presence of a uterine fibroid, which is a common benign tumor in gynecology. The fibroid has a slow growth rate due to fibrosis, and it will generally not enlarge again. It does not exhibit an expansive phenomenon. It is recommended to drink more water and undergo periodic follow-up examinations. If no other functional disorders or complications reappear, periodic follow-up examinations do not require special treatment. If it compresses the local nerves or blood vessels, surgical removal may be necessary.
