Patient's question:
I haven't been feeling well recently. My leukorrhea has also become more abundant than before, and my menstrual cramps are very severe. After a thorough examination at the hospital, they said it was uterine fibroids and that surgery would be required. I'd like to ask what are the dangers of uterine fibroids?Doctor's answer:
Uterine fibroids are the most common type of benign tumor in women. Generally, they don't cause obvious symptoms, although some people may experience vaginal bleeding or pressure-related symptoms. If they recur, it could be due to multiple uterine fibroids. It is recommended that patients eat appropriate amounts of vegetables and fruits and avoid taking supplements containing hormones. Uterine fibroids can pose significant harm to the body, making timely and coordinated treatment crucial. Female patients with uterine fibroids may very likely experience intestinal adhesion if their condition worsens, leading to bacterial infection of the intestines. Inflamed fibroids can adhere to the uterine appendages, causing purulent inflammation. In severe cases, they may even lead to conditions like appendicitis or pelvic inflammation due to rupture. It is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle on a daily basis.
