Patient's question:
The time I was diagnosed with fibroids was in 2009 when I started experiencing some abdominal pain. Later, I kept going to the provincial women and children's hospital for treatment and follow-up.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 situation. Small fibroids usually do not require treatment, but if they are large (diameter greater than 6 cm) and symptomatic, surgical treatment is recommended.
