Patient's question:
I recently went to the hospital for a follow-up check-up after giving birth. The doctor said there was a submucosal fibroid in my uterus. I want to know if this fibroid is actually an uterine fibroid.Doctor's answer:
Uterine fibroids are a type of solid space-occupying lesion, but they are benign tumors. They are small uterine fibroids, as they grow slowly and have almost no impact on health. Generally, active treatment is not recommended for those larger than five centimeters, or if there is torsion or even excessive menstrual bleeding leading to anemia, surgery is indicated. If surgery is not performed, medication is usually not required during daily life, as medication cannot cause uterine fibroids to shrink or disappear.
