What is the meaning of a fibroid protrusion?

Patient's question:

Hello! I have had uterine fibroids for three years. Yesterday, I suddenly had severe abdominal pain, which lasted for about an hour and then stopped. I went to the hospital for an ultrasound, and the doctor said the fibroids are protruding. What does "fibroids protruding" mean?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, uterine fibroids are hormone-dependent benign tumors and generally do not transform into cancer, so please don't worry. Drug treatment is not ideal. Consider surgery for larger or multiple uterine fibroids.
