Patient's question:
A few days ago, our unit organized a health check-up. The detailed examination results showed that I have uterine fibroids. The doctor said it's nothing serious. But I still feel very upset. I can't eat well during the day and can't sleep well at night. Does uterine fibroids have a mild form of the disease? Can it heal on its own?Doctor's answer:
In general, if a health check indicates the presence of uterine fibroids, further examination is still necessary to determine the specific location and size of the fibroids, as well as how they may be affecting the menstrual cycle. If there are no other abnormal findings, temporary monitoring may be sufficient. The likelihood of uterine fibroids being malignant is very low, so there is no need to be overly anxious—they are typically benign tumors. Under normal circumstances, regular follow-up checks are sufficient, as they usually do not completely disappear.
