Uterine fibroids are common benign tumors clinically, with a prevalence rate of 20%-40% among women, approximately 20% of which are hereditary. Most tumors do not show clear clinical symptoms, so patients need not worry too much even after the tumors develop. However, some patients may experience increased menstrual flow, prolonged menstrual cycles, or even symptoms such as anemia, abdominal pain, and bloating. In such cases, surgical removal may be considered, which is a routine procedure in clinical settings, so patients should not be overly concerned.
