Doctor's answer:
Hello, don't worry too much. Uterine fibroids are benign tumors that depend on estrogen. They are more common in women of childbearing age. I'm not sure what type and location your uterine fibroid is? Do you have any current discomfort symptoms? If you have fertility requirements in the near future, you can consider carrying the fibroid during pregnancy. If the psychological burden is relatively high, you can consider treatment before pregnancy. There are many methods for treating uterine fibroids, including: uterine fibroid enucleation, laparoscopy, hysteroscopy, uterine artery embolization, and ultrasound ablation, etc. It indicates that uterine fibroids can be treated, and different treatment methods can be chosen based on the different types of fibroids. The principle is to choose the least invasive treatment method. You can first consider the latter treatment. I hope you recover soon.
