Patient's question:
My lower left abdomen hurts, is it related to uterine fibroids? I'm 37 years old, and during a physical examination, two fibroids were found in the uterus, one located on the posterior wall of the uterus, slightly to the left, measuring 4.74, and another smaller one near the cervix.Doctor's answer:
Abdominal pain may be related to uterine fibroids, but other intestinal diseases cannot be ruled out. It is recommended that you should go to the hospital for relevant examinations in a timely manner. After identifying the cause, active symptomatic treatment should be carried out to avoid affecting your health. If the uterine fibroid is relatively small, generally there is no significant impact and medication may not be necessary. However, it is recommended to have regular follow-up examinations. If the growth rate becomes faster in the future, active surgical treatment should be carried out. If the fibroid is larger than 5 cm or if there are any discomfort symptoms, it is recommended to actively undergo surgical treatment.
