Patient's question:
Patient: Female, 42 years old2013: A hypoechoic mass measuring 2824mm was detected on the posterior wall of the uterus, with clear boundaries. The endometrial thickness was approximately 11mm. The cervix was about 30mm in length and size, approximately 78mm. An irregular fluid-filled area measuring 2412mm was observed in the uterosacral pouch.
Doctor's answer:
Hello, uterine fibroids are related to excessive estrogen in the body and long-term stimulation. As the fibroids grow, they can compress the bladder, leading to frequent urination and difficulty urinating, compress the rectum causing constipation, lower back and abdominal pain, anemia, and infertility, among other symptoms. There is also a certain risk of malignancy, so early detection requires early treatment. Surgical treatment for uterine fibroids can be divided into surgical stripping and total removal. Regardless of the method chosen, the recurrence rate after surgery is very high, and the trauma is also significant, along with potential postoperative complications. Therefore, the principle of treating fibroids is to avoid surgery whenever possible. Based on your condition, the fibroids are not very large, and they can still be treated conservatively.
