Patient's question:
My wife often feels lower abdominal pain. When she had a thorough examination at the hospital, the doctor said that she suffers from uterine fibroids. I want to know how long it takes for uterine fibroids to develop?Doctor's answer:
Uterine fibroids can last for one or two years, while some can last for many years. They are related to the hormone levels in your body. Therefore, if uterine fibroids are detected early, it is necessary to conduct irregular follow-up examinations. If the growth is too rapid, surgical treatment is recommended. If the growth rate is slow, and you are entering the perimenopausal period, close monitoring can be performed. Medications can also be used for further treatment.
