When is uterine fibroids considered serious? How to judge uterine fibroids

Generally, as long as uterine fibroids are found, if it is 5CM, we can consider drug control and regular observation. If the above symptoms are severe, we can consider combining drugs with physical therapy. If the uterine fibroids grow rapidly, they need to be treated in time, otherwise they may become cancerous if allowed to grow. So, how serious are uterine fibroids?

The specific treatment plan needs to be determined based on individual age, clinical manifestations and endocrine conditions. The size of uterine fibroids is not an absolute factor, but depends on related symptoms (such as low back pain, infertility, menstrual changes, constipation, frequent urination and other compression symptoms).

Gynecologists point out that the disease can affect pregnancy, and about 25%-40% of patients are infertile. This is related to the size and location of the fibroids. For example, fibroids in the uterine horns can cause the fallopian tubes to twist and deform, affecting the passage of sperm or fertilized eggs and reducing the chance of pregnancy. Submucosal uterine fibroids occupy the position of the uterine cavity, affecting the implantation of fertilized eggs.

Large intramural fibroids can not only change the normal shape of the uterine cavity, but also compress the fallopian tubes. Therefore, in order to improve the chance of fertility, especially infertile fibroid patients, timely medical treatment should be sought. The doctor will adopt different surgical plans according to the size of the fibroids and the different parts of growth, or perform laparotomy to remove the tumor on the uterus, or remove the submucosal fibroids under hysteroscopy. This can preserve the patient's fertility function and improve the chance of pregnancy.
