Patient's question:
I heard that women in their thirties and forties often get uterine fibroids. I'm also very worried about getting this disease. My periods used to be very regular, but now I have symptoms of vaginal bleeding outside of my period, and my discharge is also abnormal. Besides the odor, it feels like there's a hard lump inside. I'm very sad.Doctor's answer:
The common symptoms of uterine fibroids include uterine bleeding, abdominal mass, vaginal discharge, and symptom control. Whether uterine fibroids have symptoms and their severity mainly depend on the location, size, number of the fibroids, as well as complications. Some fibroids are small, grow slowly, and are asymptomatic, which may remain undetected throughout life. If such a condition is detected, please seek treatment promptly. Facing the impact of uterine fibroids, we should actively implement careful examinations and treatments, avoid avoiding medical visits. If uterine fibroids do not improve with treatment, it is necessary to change the treatment plan in a timely manner.
