Are uterine fibroids hereditary?

Will uterine fibroids be inherited? This is a question that many female patients are concerned about. Uterine fibroids are a common gynecological disease in life. It is a benign tumor that causes great harm to the patient's body and mind. Some patients of childbearing age are particularly worried that the disease will be inherited by their children. So, will uterine fibroids be inherited?

According to experts, uterine fibroids are not hereditary and therefore will not be inherited. Uterine fibroids are extremely harmful to women's bodies and are also a great psychological torture for women. For patients with this disease, timely treatment is very important. There are many methods to treat this disease, and symptomatic treatment is very important.

Patients with small fibroids and no clinical symptoms should undergo a gynecological examination every year, especially women approaching menopause. Since uterine fibroids generally shrink naturally after women enter menopause, patients with uterine fibroids approaching menopause can take medication to promote the shrinkage of fibroids.

Patients with uterine fibroids who wish to have children can use hysteroscopic laparoscopy to treat uterine fibroids, that is, only remove the fibroids and retain the uterus. However, patients who undergo uterine fibroid removal should not get pregnant immediately, and the incision on the uterine wall should be allowed to heal completely, that is, pregnancy can be considered 1-2 years after the operation.

For patients with uterine fibroids who have a tendency to become malignant, a subtotal hysterectomy is performed, which means that only the uterine body is removed while the cervix is ​​retained. By retaining the cervix, the integrity of the pelvic floor tissue of patients with uterine fibroids can be protected, and the vaginal top prolapse caused by damage and relaxation of the pelvic floor tissue can be avoided. This type of surgery is large in scope and difficult, and should be performed in a regular, professional, large obstetrics and gynecology hospital.
