Why are uterine fibroids, cervical hypertrophy, and cervical cysts?

Patient's question:

Age: 40
Ultrasound findings: Posterior wall shows a 1.5x1.2cm hyperechoic area, slightly low in position, with relatively clear boundaries. Endometrial thickness is about 0.9cm. Cervix thickness is about 3.8cm, with multiple anechoic areas visible inside, the largest being 0.8x0.9cm.
Ultrasound suggests: Uterine fibroids, cervical hypertrophy, cervical cysts

Doctor's answer:

Follow-up observation is usually not necessary if the fibroid is small and asymptomatic. This is especially true for patients nearing menopause, as their estrogen levels decline, and the fibroid can naturally shrink or disappear. Follow-up every 3-6 months is recommended. If the fibroid grows or symptoms become significant during follow-up, further treatment should be considered.
The presence of uterine fibroids not only affects a woman's life but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to undergo a vaginal examination at the gynecology department of a hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. Pay attention to dietary adjustments, consuming light and easily digestible foods, and avoid spicy, irritating, and cold foods.
