Patient's question:
Increased menstrual volume, prolonged menstrual period, changes in menstruation.Doctor's answer:
Uterine leiomyoma is the most common benign tumor of the female reproductive system. In the early stages, it often shows no symptoms, but in some cases, it may manifest as vaginal bleeding, palpable abdominal masses, or compression symptoms. Pain can occur if the tumor twists at its pedicle or due to other conditions. Multiple uterine leiomyomas are more common. The exact cause of this condition remains unclear. Modern Western medicine employs hormone therapy or surgical treatment, with no other ideal therapies available.
