Patient's question:
A doctor recently discovered uterine fibroids during a thorough examination at the hospital. However, I haven't felt any discomfort in my body either, which surprised me. What are the symptoms of uterine fibroids?Doctor's answer:
According to the location where the fibroid grows, the symptoms it exhibits can vary. Some people may experience irregular menstruation and an increasing amount of menstrual bleeding, while others may show no symptoms at all and only discover the fibroid during a health check-up. Therefore, it cannot be generalized. After the age of 35, it is recommended to have a health check-up once a year, so that any illness can be detected at an early stage. Uterine fibroids can be a serious condition, and it is advised that patients seek timely and symptomatic treatment while also paying attention to dietary issues, avoiding spicy and irritating foods to prevent worsening the condition.
