Patient's question:
What are the early symptoms of uterine fibroids? The question about the early symptoms of uterine fibroids is quite troublesome. I heard that many people get uterine fibroids are found during hospital check-ups, so I want to learn about the early symptoms of uterine fibroids.Doctor's answer:
Uterine fibroids in the early stage generally do not show obvious symptoms. Routine gynecological examinations cannot detect fibroids smaller than three centimeters. They are usually discovered during a pelvic ultrasound during a physical examination. The symptoms may vary depending on the location, growth rate, and degeneration of the fibroids. If you notice prolonged menstrual bleeding, increased vaginal discharge, or abdominal bloating and pain, it is recommended to visit a hospital for an ultrasound examination to check for uterine fibroids.
