Patient's question:
I have gained weight quickly in my abdomen these past few months. Hello, is it good for uterine fibroids to grow outward? What should I do now?Doctor's answer:
The rapid increase in belly fat is closely related to the excessive accumulation of fat in the abdomen. Generally, it is not significantly associated with uterine fibroids. Uterine fibroids that protrude outward are relatively better compared to submucosal fibroids located within the uterine cavity. Submucosal fibroids can cause menstrual disorders, leading to dysfunctional uterine bleeding. If the fibroids grow rapidly, you will need surgical intervention.
