Is it normal to have uterine fibroids at the age of 50?

Patient's question:

Is it normal to have uterine fibroids at the age of 50?

Doctor's answer:

Uterine fibroids are relatively common benign tumors in gynecology, and they may occur again at any time after the age of childbearing for women. For a 50-year-old woman, considering she is nearing menopause, these uterine fibroids may shrink on their own after menopause. Therefore, if there is no significant increase in menstrual flow, it is recommended that a 50-year-old woman with uterine fibroids undergo irregular follow-up gynecological ultrasounds annually. Wishing you a speedy recovery and the strength to overcome the disease.
