Patient's question:
A few days ago, one of my family members went to the hospital for a thorough examination. The examination revealed that they have developed benign uterine fibroids. Now, we are unsure of what to do. I would like to ask for help and ask the doctor, what should be done about benign uterine fibroids?Doctor's answer:
A relative in your family has been carefully checked and found to have uterine fibroids. Generally, the vast majority of uterine fibroids are benign. If they have no significant impact on your menstrual cycle, regular follow-up examinations can be sufficient. Some uterine fibroids grow very slowly. For those in their 40s, as they age, the fibroids may continue to grow until menstruation stops. With the rise in hormones in the body, the fibroids will also gradually expand, so surgery is not necessary. Therefore, based on the potential impact of the fibroids on the individual, the decision is made whether to undergo surgery or other treatments.
