Patient's question:
Doctor, I am 35 years old and have uterine fibroids. Uterine fibroids have caused great harm to my physical and mental health, and I also have symptoms of abnormal menstruation, which have severely affected my life and work.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. Treatment depends on the specific situation. Small fibroids usually do not require treatment, but if they are too large (diameter greater than 6 cm), surgical treatment is recommended if symptoms are present.
