Patient's question:
For the past two months, there has been blood coming out of the vagina, not much, but it appears again after stopping for 2 to 3 days. The hospital examination revealed that the uterus was enlarged and its shape was abnormal. A solid hypoechoic mass measuring 44x59x48 was observed on the posterior wall of the uterine body, with clear boundaries and a relatively regular shape. The internal echo was heterogeneous. The endometrial thickness was about 10mm, with heterogeneous echo.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 some may manifest as vaginal bleeding, palpable abdominal masses, and compression symptoms, among others. Treatment depends on the specific circumstances. Small fibroids usually do not require treatment, but if they are large (diameter greater than 6 cm) and symptomatic, surgical treatment is recommended.
