Patient's question:
Last month during our health check-up, the ultrasound examination revealed that I have uterine fibroids. Now I am taking medication for treatment. What are the causes of uterine fibroids?Doctor's answer:
Uterine fibroids are caused by abnormal fibrosis of the smooth muscle in a woman's uterus. There are several reasons that can lead to the development of uterine fibroids, such as hormonal imbalance, excessive stress, genetic factors, and environmental pollution. In reality, uterine fibroids are not as frightening as they may seem. Small fibroids do not interfere with or harm the body and only require regular follow-up and monitoring.
