Patient's question:
My best friend has been diagnosed with a uterine tumor, and I need to understand once. What are the symptoms of uterine fibroids?Doctor's answer:
Uterine fibroids may or may not cause symptoms. Some may experience heavy menstrual bleeding, a sensation of abdominal mass, lower abdominal pain, and other symptoms. It is necessary to undergo a gynecological ultrasound and examination to confirm the diagnosis. The specific size and location of the fibroids need to be determined. If the fibroids are less than 5 cm and do not interfere with menstrual flow, medication can be used to control them. If they are larger than 5 cm and the menstrual bleeding is heavy with menopause approaching, the uterus can be surgically removed. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
