Will uterine fibroids get worse?

If uterine fibroids are severe and not treated in time, they may become malignant.

Uterine fibroids are benign tumors caused by abnormal proliferation of uterine smooth muscle tissue, which are more common in women aged 30 to 50. The main causes are genetic factors, hormone level disorders, stem cell dysfunction, etc. Some patients have no obvious clinical symptoms and are only found during physical examinations, but some women will have symptoms such as abnormal menstruation, abdominal lumps, and increased leucorrhea. For some patients with mild symptoms, after menopause, as the hormone levels in the body decrease, uterine fibroids can gradually shrink or disappear. If the patient's condition is not treated in time when it is serious, it may lead to abnormal menstruation, increased leucorrhea, and even infertility, seriously affecting the quality of daily life. It may even be complicated by inflammatory infection or even tumor torsion, which may eventually lead to malignant changes.

Patients are advised to go to the hospital for standardized treatment in time if they have symptoms of uterine fibroids. They can use mifepristone tablets, compound levonorgestrel tablets, tranexamic acid tablets and other drugs as recommended by doctors. They can also be treated through myomectomy, hysterectomy, uterine artery embolization, high-energy focused ultrasound therapy and other methods. During the treatment of the disease, you should maintain a positive attitude, actively cooperate with the medical staff, eat a light diet, keep rest, and avoid overwork.
