Patient's question:
2 years and 3 months ago, a benign tumor was removed. Half a year ago, an ultrasound check showed abnormal echoes, and the doctor said it was a tumor.Doctor's answer:
Hello, uterine fibroids are the most common benign tumors in the female reproductive system, with a very low risk of malignancy. Their etiology may be related to excessively high estrogen levels in the body and long-term estrogen stimulation. Generally, they are asymptomatic, but a few may manifest as vaginal bleeding, palpable abdominal masses, and compression symptoms, among others. Treatment needs to be determined based on specific circumstances. Small fibroids usually do not require treatment, but if they are too large (diameter greater than 6 cm) and symptomatic, surgical treatment is recommended.
