Patient's question:
Last March during a health check, uterine fibroids were found measuring 2.22.2. In August, a detailed examination showed them measuring 4.23.9. A week ago, another detailed check revealed dimensions of 5.04.24.8. Normally, I only experience a slight coolness and heaviness in the lower abdomen during menstruation, with no other symptoms or discomfort. Do I need treatment, and how should it be managed?Doctor's answer:
From the careful examination results, it appears that your uterine fibroid is growing, and the growth rate is quite fast. Uterine fibroids affect approximately 25% of women, but they generally grow very slowly, without symptoms, and do not require treatment. Regular follow-up checks are sufficient. However, your case is different, and timely treatment is necessary. Uterine fibroid conditions can be serious, and it is recommended that patients seek timely treatment and follow the doctor's advice for symptomatic treatment. At the same time, pay attention to self-care training, maintain a proper diet, and avoid worsening the condition.
