Patient's question:
I have a female colleague who is only forty years old. She used to have very regular menstruation. What are the symptoms of uterine fibroids?Doctor's answer:
Uterine fibroids generally never transform into cancer. The vast majority of patients show no symptoms, while some may experience menstrual disorders, a floating mass (Grade 3), increased vaginal discharge with a foul odor, abdominal pain, lower abdominal fullness, back pain, and anemia. In women of childbearing age, it can lead to infertility. In fact, having uterine fibroids is not frightening at all. Patients should believe that they can overcome the disease as long as they recognize the symptoms early and receive appropriate treatment.
