Are uterine fibroids likely to recur?
Firstly, uterine fibroids are prone to recurrence in women of childbearing age. The main cause of uterine fibroids is usually an excessively high level of estrogen in the body, along with an uneven distribution of estrogen levels, which leads to the development of fibroids. Once a woman is of childbearing age and has regular menstrual cycles, uterine fibroids tend to recur. If uterine fibroids occur, it is necessary to go to the hospital for a color ultrasound examination to check the location of the fibroids. Uterine fibroids can be categorized into cervical fibroids and corpus fibroids. If cervical fibroids are found, timely surgical treatment is required because they become more difficult to treat and more prone to bleeding as they grow larger. Additionally, for corpus fibroids, it depends on whether they are intramural or submucosal. If submucosal uterine fibroids are present, they also require timely surgical intervention due to the risk of prolonged bleeding and potential anemia.
