Patient's question:
On September 12th of this year, I was diagnosed with uterine fibroids. On the 14th of the same month, I underwent a hysterectomy. I took the fibroid for pathology, and the pathology results were benign. After discharge, the specific pathology report stated: "secretory phase changes of the endometrium (with some complex hyperplasia)" and "chronic cervicitis (Nabothian cysts, glandular calcification)." However, I don't understand what these two aspects mean.Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on your checkup report, it appears that the diagnosis is only of uterine fibroids, which are benign.However, the treatment for uterine fibroids should be determined by considering factors such as the size and number of the fibroids, as well as the extent of their impact on your body. Treatment options include medication or surgery, and it is not necessary to undergo a total hysterectomy. If the fibroid is submucosal, it can be removed through minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery, which has a very high cure rate.
Under normal treatment, the malignancy rate of uterine fibroids is 0.5–1%. However, if left untreated for a long time, there is still a significant risk of malignancy. After surgery or treatment, follow-up observation is sufficient, and there is no need to worry excessively.
