Is it serious to have uterine fibroids? Is the chance of uterine fibroids getting worse very small?

Among gynecological diseases, uterine fibroids are the most common benign tumors in women and one of the most common tumors in the human body. Most patients with uterine fibroids are middle-aged women, with a common age of 35-50 years old. Most are asymptomatic, and a few show vaginal bleeding, abdominal contact with the tumor, and compression symptoms. For example, pedicle torsion or other conditions can cause pain, which is common in multiple uterine fibroids. About one in five people has uterine fibroids. So, are uterine fibroids serious? Be careful in treating uterine fibroids?

The chance of uterine fibroids worsening is very small, generally 0. About 5% of fibroid patients do not need surgery, and 5%cm mifepristone, danazol, etc. can be used for oral tumor-reducing drug treatment.

However, regular follow-up examinations are required, and surgical treatment is necessary if the following conditions occur:

1. Uterine fibroids cause heavy bleeding, and even long-term excessive menstruation leading to anemia. 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, which may also require surgery.

3. Fibroids grow too fast, or after menopause, fibroids do not shrink but grow larger. At the same time, if the fibroids are too large, the chance of deterioration will also increase.

4. If a woman is infertile and all other tests are normal, it may be uterine fibroids, in which case surgical treatment is more necessary.
