What are the symptoms of uterine fibroids?

Patient's question:

Lower abdominal pain recently

Doctor's answer:

Generally, uterine fibroids may cause abdominal pain and the possibility of vaginal bleeding, or they may show no symptoms at all. A gynecological ultrasound examination can usually diagnose the condition clearly. If significant symptoms are present and medication is ineffective, surgical treatment is recommended for a definitive cure. If there are no symptoms, no treatment may be necessary, and regular follow-up examinations can be conducted.
