Patient's question:
My aunt went to the doctor last week. The doctor conducted a thorough examination and said she had uterine fibroids. Upon hearing this, we would all mistakenly think she had cancer. What are the symptoms and treatments for uterine fibroids?Doctor's answer:
Treatment methods should be determined based on symptoms, and this may be particularly important for uterine fibroids compared to other diseases (especially tumors). Uterine fibroids are benign tumors, and the choice of treatment strategy primarily depends on whether the patient exhibits symptoms. In fact, how to treat fibroid patients, what solutions to implement, or what type of surgery to perform, largely depends on the presence or severity of symptoms. Since uterine fibroids are often accompanied by endometrial inflammation, such as simple endometrial hyperplasia, cystic endometrial hyperplasia, adenomatous endometrial hyperplasia, or even atypical endometrial hyperplasia, they frequently cause irregular vaginal bleeding.
