Patient's question:
Doctor. Does uterine fibroids cause the uterus to enlarge? What consequences will this lead to?Doctor's answer:
Hello! Uterine fibroids are caused by fibrosis of the smooth muscle cells of the uterus. Uterine fibroids can lead to uterine enlargement. Uterine fibroids can be classified into submucosal fibroids, intramural fibroids, and subserosal fibroids. Submucosal fibroids have a greater impact on menstruation and may cause a significant increase in menstrual volume. The treatment for fibroids varies depending on age, the location of the fibroid growth, size, and whether pregnancy is desired.
