Patient's question:
In 2010, I went to the hospital for a check-up and found uterine fibroids larger than 0.3mm. I had lower abdominal pain and my period lasted for more than 20 days each month. After that, I went to the Chongqing Guobin Hospital for treatment.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 in some cases, they may manifest as vaginal bleeding, palpable abdominal masses, and compression symptoms. Treatment depends on the specific situation. Small fibroids usually do not require treatment, but if they are large (with a diameter greater than 6 cm) and symptomatic, surgical treatment is recommended.
