Several misunderstandings about uterine fibroids that need attention

In real life, there are some misunderstandings about uterine fibroids that need special attention, which will have an adverse effect on the condition of patients with uterine fibroids. What are the common misunderstandings about uterine fibroids ? Here we will talk about the common misunderstandings about uterine fibroids.

In general, common misunderstandings about uterine fibroids are:

1. Looking forward to menopause

Most patients with uterine fibroids know that "fibroids can shrink after menopause", so "looking forward to menopause" becomes a "wish" in the patients' minds. With this "wish", they enter the long follow-up stage. Most fibroids can shrink after menopause. This concept is correct. The reason is that fibroids are tumors that depend on sex hormones (estrogen and progesterone) for growth. After menopause, the estrogen and progesterone levels in women's bodies decrease, and the growth of fibroids is inhibited. This is a common misunderstanding of uterine fibroids.

2. Take medicine to "eliminate" tumors

This is also a common misunderstanding about uterine fibroids. Some people believe that taking some medicine can "eliminate" fibroids, which is misleading. Uterine fibroids are difficult to "eliminate". Long-term self-administration of so-called "eliminate" tumor drugs may cause liver and kidney damage.

3. Cause infertility

The childbearing age of modern women has generally increased, and some patients have postponed their childbearing age to over 30 years old, or even older. Many patients suffer from uterine fibroids before giving birth. Therefore, the impact of fibroids on pregnancy has attracted attention. In most cases, fibroids do not affect pregnancy, nor do they cause effects on the fetus, such as miscarriage, deformity, etc.; vice versa, in most cases, pregnancy will not cause significant changes in fibroids, such as enlargement, degeneration, etc. This is also a common misunderstanding of uterine fibroids.

The above is an introduction to common misunderstandings about uterine fibroids. I hope it will be helpful to everyone. Once you have uterine fibroids, you must go to the hospital for treatment immediately to avoid delaying the disease.
