How is uterine fibroid treated?

Patient's question:

My uterine fibroids are quite many, I'm young, less than thirty. Now I'm suspecting it might be ectopic pregnancy. What should I do?

Doctor's answer:

If your current uterine fibroids are small, you may not need to seek immediate treatment. You can simply visit the hospital for follow-up check-ups at intervals to monitor the changes in the fibroids, such as whether they are growing or if there are any changes in your menstrual cycle. As long as the fibroids are not growing rapidly or causing changes in your menstrual cycle, treatment may not be necessary.
Additionally, the typical symptoms of ectopic pregnancy include missed periods, abdominal pain, and vaginal bleeding. An ultrasound examination may reveal no gestational sac in the uterine cavity, while blood tests show a significant decline in HCG levels. In such cases, ectopic pregnancy is usually diagnosed. If you suspect you have ectopic pregnancy, you should combine your symptoms and seek medical attention promptly. If ectopic pregnancy is confirmed, it is recommended to receive timely treatment to prevent rupture.
