Patient's question:
I have had uterine fibroids for about three months. Today, I had a thorough examination at the hospital and found that the uterine fibroids are protruding into the uterine cavity. How are uterine fibroids that protrude into the uterine cavity treated?Doctor's answer:
The uterine fibroid protrudes into the uterine cavity. It may be considered as an intramural uterine fibroid or a submucosal uterine fibroid, which could potentially affect normal menstruation, leading to a series of symptoms such as increased menstrual volume and prolonged menstrual periods. This requires assessing the size of the fibroid. If the size is relatively large and the menstrual volume is significant, surgical intervention may generally be necessary to address the condition.
