Patient's question:
My colleague was recently diagnosed with a uterine tumor and will need to prepare for surgical treatment soon. I want to know, what is a uterine fibroid? What are the symptoms of uterine fibroids? How should we prevent it in our daily lives?Doctor's answer:
Hello! Uterine fibroids are a common gynecological disease, a benign tumor of the reproductive organs, primarily composed of fibrotic smooth muscle cells. They are more common in women aged 30 to 50. Most people with uterine fibroids have no symptoms and are only discovered during health check-ups. If the fibroids are relatively large or grow in different locations, they may cause lower abdominal heaviness and fullness, excessive menstrual bleeding, or even lead to anemia. Regular gynecological examinations are necessary for early detection and early treatment.
