Patient's question:
The time I was diagnosed with fibroids was starting in 2009 when I noticed some abdominal pain. Later, I kept going to the Provincial Maternal and Child Health Hospital for treatment and follow-up.Doctor's answer:
Hello, uterine fibroids are the most common benign tumors in the female reproductive system, with a very low risk of malignancy. Their etiology may be related to excessively high estrogen levels in the body and long-term estrogen stimulation. Generally, they are asymptomatic, but some may manifest as vaginal bleeding, palpable abdominal masses, and compression symptoms. Treatment depends on the specific situation. Small fibroids usually do not require treatment, but if they are too large (diameter greater than 6 cm), surgical treatment is recommended if symptoms are present.
