Patient's question:
I recently heard from a friend that some women and girls have developed uterine fibroids. They told me to be careful too, and of course, I was very upset. I didn't even know what this disease was or how it could develop. I'd like to ask, what are the common classifications and symptoms of uterine fibroids?Doctor's answer:
Intramural fibroid The fibroid is located within the muscular wall, surrounded entirely by muscle tissue. Most fibroids initially develop in this type of location, making it the most common, accounting for approximately 60-70%.2. Subserous fibroid The intramural fibroid expands towards the serosa and becomes thin at the surface of the uterus, directly contacting the serosal layer, accounting for about 20%. If it grows between the two leaves of the broad ligament, it is classified as an intraligamentous fibroid.
Treatment methods for uterine fibroids include several options. However, since patients exhibit different symptoms, the chosen treatment method varies accordingly. Therefore, patients need to undergo timely and thorough examination and diagnosis to receive appropriate treatment.
