Patient's question:
Women in their thirties and forties, especially those with uterine fibroids, I'm afraid that as I get older, I'll be like them too. But I'm already married with children, and I also have some mild gynecological problems, such as vulvar itching. How are uterine fibroids caused?Doctor's answer:
Uterine fibroids are the most common benign tumor of the female reproductive organs and also one of the most common tumors in the human body. They are also known as fibromyomas or uterine fibromas. Since uterine fibroids are primarily composed of the proliferation of uterine smooth muscle cells, with a small amount of fibrous connective tissue serving as supporting tissue, the term "uterine leiomyoma" is more accurate. They are commonly referred to as uterine fibroids.Advice: If the patient has no obvious symptoms and no signs of malignancy, regular follow-up and observation can be conducted. For patients with obvious symptoms or those with a possibility of malignant transformation, or those who do not wish to have children, a hysterectomy is recommended. Timely treatment at a formal hospital should be sought to avoid the occurrence of other adverse effects.
