Doctor's answer:

Hello, don't worry too much. Uterine fibroids are benign, estrogen-dependent tumors that commonly occur in women of childbearing age. I'm not sure what type and location your uterine fibroid is. Are you currently experiencing any discomfort? If you have fertility requirements in the near future, you might consider carrying the fibroid during pregnancy. If the psychological burden is significant, you could consider treatment before pregnancy. There are many methods for treating uterine fibroids, including: fibroid removal, laparoscopy, hysteroscopy, uterine artery embolization, and ultrasound ablation, among others. It indicates that uterine fibroids can be treated, and different treatment methods can be chosen based on the type of fibroid. The principle is to choose the least invasive treatment method, and you can first consider the latter treatment. I hope you recover soon.
