Can uterine fibroids be relieved?

Patient's question:

During the ultrasound examination, it was found that I have uterine fibroids. Can this disease go untreated? Can uterine fibroids be relieved?

Doctor's answer:

Hello! Uterine fibroids are benign tumors composed of fibrotic smooth muscle cells of the uterus. Since they have already fibrotized, they cannot be completely removed. Taking medication can only control their growth rate. If the fibroid is small and has little impact on menstruation, it may not need to be addressed for the time being. For younger women who require surgery, minimally invasive fibroid removal should be the primary approach.
