What is the reason for a slight discomfort in the lower left abdomen with uterine fibroids?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Uterine fibroids, also known as leiomyomas, are the most common benign tumors of the female reproductive system. Most are asymptomatic, while a few may present with symptoms such as vaginal bleeding, palpable abdominal masses, and compression symptoms. The exact cause of this condition is unclear, and modern Western medicine employs hormone therapy or surgical treatment.
