What is the meaning of a fibroid protrusion?

Patient's question:

Hello! I have had uterine fibroids for three years. Yesterday, I suddenly had severe abdominal pain, which lasted for about an hour and then stopped. I went to the hospital for an ultrasound, and they said the fibroids are protruding. What does it mean for the fibroids to be protruding?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, uterine fibroids are hormone-dependent benign tumors and generally do not become cancerous, so please don't worry. Drug treatment is not ideal. If the fibroids are large or numerous, surgery may be considered.
The occurrence of uterine fibroids not only affects the patient's body but also leads to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to have a vaginal discharge test at the gynecology department of the hospital. After identifying the cause, symptomatic treatment should be administered. Additionally, pay attention to personal hygiene and keep the perineal skin clean.
