Patient's question:
Pain around the navel for two monthsDoctor's answer:
Uterine fibroids, also known as leiomyomas, are the most common benign tumors of the female reproductive system. Most are asymptomatic, while a few may present with symptoms such as vaginal bleeding, palpable abdominal masses, and compression symptoms. Pain around the navel is relatively common, often associated with conditions like appendicitis, small intestinal issues, colon disease, or a lower position of the uterus and its appendages, which is commonly referred to as the lower abdomen. You can undergo a gynecological ultrasound and pelvic examination. If it is a digestive system disease, barium enema or a full gastrointestinal examination may be performed.
