Patient's question:
I went for a check-up when I knew my uterus was a bit uncomfortable. There's a small uterine fibroid. Do I need surgery?Doctor's answer:
Uterine fibroids affect fertility: This is one of the more significant harms of uterine fibroids. This is because fibroids in the uterine angle compress the fallopian tube opening, causing the uterus to deform and obstructing the implantation of a fertilized egg. Additionally, women with fibroids often experience ovarian dysfunction, leading to infertility. Furthermore, women with uterine fibroids have a natural miscarriage rate that is 25% higher than the general population.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 gynecological examination at a hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. In daily life, it is important to drink plenty of water and maintain good personal hygiene.
