Patient's question:
I have had uterine fibroids for a long time and have been under treatment. Now, due to this condition, there is bleeding from my vagina, and I am experiencing shortness of breath with pale complexion, which is very uncomfortable. My body is also feeling intermittent fever. The doctor said my friend has anemia, which explains why she has been dizzy lately. Will uterine fibroids continue to worsen?Doctor's answer:
A tumor larger than 5 centimeters requires surgical treatment. Uterine fibroids are benign tumors, and if they continue to worsen, they often cause abdominal pain and an increase in menstrual flow, leading to irregular periods. An ultrasound examination can clearly reveal this, making it easy to diagnose. If there are symptoms such as heavy menstrual flow, anemia, and abdominal pain, timely surgery is still necessary. Uterine fibroids, being benign tumors, can sometimes heal on their own. However, if they are not treated promptly, inflammation may occur, and there is a possibility of them shrinking.
