Young uterine fibroids are not serious.
Uterine fibroids are one of the common benign tumors in gynecology. Generally, the rate of malignant transformation is very low, and uterine fibroids are not very serious diseases. Uterine fibroids are treated differently according to age, location, growth rate, number of fibroids, whether there are fertility requirements, and clinical symptoms. If the uterine fibroids are smaller than 5 cm, the growth rate is slow, and the patients near perimenopausal period have no obvious symptoms of bowel and stool compression, and no obvious menstrual changes, no anemia, they can be followed up for observation, or treated with traditional Chinese medicine Lingzhi Fuling Pills. Conversely, if the fibroids are large, young and small, and have irregular vaginal bleeding, surgical treatment is recommended.
Note that uterine fibroids are a benign and multiple disease. The effect of drugs on the treatment of uterine fibroids is not ideal. Some patients can stop the growth of fibroids during medication, but after the drug is stopped, the fibroids grow rapidly, so Surgical treatment is recommended.
