Patient's question:
I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? Can uterine fibroids be felt through the vagina with fingers?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 depends on the specific situation. Small fibroids usually do not require treatment, but if they are too large (diameter greater than 6 cm) and symptomatic, surgical treatment is recommended.
