Patient's question:
These past few days, I've been inexplicably running a slightly high fever. Last week, a thorough examination revealed an uterine fibroid. Do uterine fibroids cause fever?Doctor's answer:
Uterine fibroids will never cause a fever, so the high fever you're experiencing now may be due to a bacterial or viral infection in another part of your body. If you're not sure, it's best to go to the hospital for a complete blood count test. If necessary, take anti-inflammatory and antiviral medications orally for a few days, and drink more water. If your uterine fibroid is not too large, you can have follow-up examinations at irregular intervals. If the diameter is less than five centimeters, it's best to consider surgery.
