How much do you know about fibroids

How much do you know about fibroids? Many people may not have heard of fibroids, but that does not mean you have never seen them. You may just not pay enough attention to them. Fibroids are benign tumors derived from fibrous connective tissue. Let's take a look today. How much do you know about fibroids?

Fibroids generally grow slowly. Most are benign and occur subcutaneously. They are painless masses with a hard texture, varying sizes, smooth surfaces, clear edges, no adhesion to surrounding tissues, and generally good mobility.

1. First of all, we need to distinguish between fibroadenoma and fibroadenomatosis. The difference of one word leads to different prognosis. Fibroadenoma is generally referred to as multiple fibroids. It should be treated early, with surgical resection as the main method, supplemented by radiotherapy and chemotherapy when necessary.

2. Location: Fibroadenoma is a benign tumor and can be removed as much as possible according to your own situation. Neck, chest, abdominal wall and groin generally do not affect the quality of life, so there is no need to worry too much. Breast fibroids are slightly more likely to become malignant and can be removed at an optional time. Visceral fibroids are difficult to judge as benign or malignant, so they should generally be removed as soon as possible after discovery.

3. Patient's mentality Some people get very nervous when they find a fibroid. In fact, it is unnecessary. Most people have benign tumors, such as lipomas. In fact, the more nervous you are, the higher the chance of the tumor becoming malignant. For fibroids like those in the neck and thigh, you can have them removed if you want, or forget it if you don't want to. If you still can't let it go, then pick a holiday and have it removed happily. It won't cost much and it will buy you peace of mind.

4. Regardless of whether you cut or not, please develop good living habits, get enough sleep, eat more vegetables, eat less pickled food, drink more tea, exercise regularly, and laugh heartily.

Note: For treatment, please follow the advice of the clinician. Fibroids should be removed surgically at an early stage, and the surrounding tissues should be removed appropriately.
