Is uterine fibroids serious? How are uterine fibroids treated?

Among gynecological diseases, uterine fibroids are the most common benign tumors in women and one of the most common tumors in the human body. But even if it is benign, it is still a tumor! So are uterine fibroids serious?

Clinical data show that most patients with uterine fibroids are middle-aged women, with a common age range of 35-50 years old. Most are asymptomatic, with a few showing vaginal bleeding, abdominal tumors, and compression symptoms. Multiple uterine fibroids are common in cases of pedicle torsion or other conditions that cause pain. About one in five people has uterine fibroids. The probability of uterine fibroids worsening is very small, generally 0. About 5% of fibroid patients do not require surgery, and drugs below 5% cm can be used for treatment, such as mifepristone, danazol, etc., which can be used for oral administration to reduce tumors. However, regular follow-up examinations are required. Surgery is required in the event of the following situations:

1. Uterine fibroids cause heavy bleeding, and even anemia due to long-term menorrhagia. At this time, surgical removal must be considered.

2. Uterine fibroids can compress other organs in the pelvis. If the tumor is too large, it can compress the bladder, causing frequent urination or difficulty urinating. In this case, surgery is required.

3. If the fibroids grow too fast or after menopause, the fibroids will not shrink but become larger. At the same time, the chance of fibroids worsening will also increase.

4. If a woman has no sexual intercourse and other examinations are normal, but she does not have sexual intercourse at this time, it may be uterine fibroids, in which case surgical treatment is more necessary.

Therefore, everyone's answer to whether uterine fibroids are serious is different. If they remain benign, they are not serious; but if they are not actively treated, they will become more serious!
