Patient's question:
I've been married to my husband for 2 years, but we haven't been able to conceive. Recently, I've noticed a hard lump in my abdomen and some pain. My white discharge has also been increasing. I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up, and the doctor told me I have uterine fibroids, but they're not severe. I don't want to have surgery and don't know what harm it might bring?Doctor's answer:
Uterine fibroids, also known as leiomyomas, are the most common benign tumors of the female reproductive organs. They are typically classified into subserous fibroids, intramural fibroids, submucous fibroids, cervical fibroids, or broad ligament fibroids, among others. Different types of uterine fibroids can present with clinical manifestations such as excessive menstrual bleeding, lower abdominal masses, or difficulty urinating and defecating.Hello: The hazards of uterine fibroids may include malignant transformation, fibroid detachment, adhesions, or inflammation, secondary anemia, infertility or miscarriage, infection, and inflammation. The condition of uterine fibroids is very serious, and patients are advised to seek immediate treatment. It is hoped that patients can receive symptomatic treatment according to the doctor's advice.
