Are multiple fibroids serious

Multiple uterine fibroids are usually not serious if they are found in fertile women, usually asymptomatic, small in size, and located under the plasma membrane; uterine fibroids located under the mucous membrane, or interstitial fibroids that are larger in size, or newborn uterine fibroids that are found after menopause are relatively more serious, and they need reasonable treatment. Multiple uterine fibroids are common benign tumors, its occurrence has a certain relationship with the level of estrogen in the body, preferably occurring in women in their reproductive years. If the tumor is small, under 5 centimeters, and grows under the plasma membrane of the uterus, it will not show any symptoms, and has no effect on other organs, and will not threaten the life of the uterus, therefore, it is not serious, and the observation and follow-up can be done. However, there are several cases which are relatively serious and need to be treated by surgery or intervention: 1. Submucosal fibroids, the tumor will interfere with the environment of the uterine cavity, impede the fertilization of the egg, affect the uterine contraction during menstruation, clinically manifested as menstrual disorders, infertility, or recurrent miscarriages. 2. Large interstitial fibroids, multiple fibroids, the size of which is more than 5 centimeters, can cause uterine enlargement, and then compress the surrounding organs, which may cause urinary retention, intestinal obstruction, menstrual disorders and other manifestations. 3. Newborn fibroid after menopause, after menopause, estrogen decreases, and the prevalence of fibroid under normal condition also decreases, so the growth of fibroid at this time suggests a higher risk of cancer. Multiple uterine fibroids need to be treated under doctor’s guidance and according to the individual’s condition, such as observation and follow-up or surgery.
