Introduction
There is no such thing as the best way to treat uterine fibroids in unmarried women. Patients can manage the condition through general management, medication, or surgical treatment. Clinically, the exact cause of uterine fibroids remains unclear and may be related to factors such as genetics and obesity. Elevated estrogen levels in patients compared to normal levels may promote chronic congestion in localized areas of the uterus, potentially leading to the development of uterine fibroids.

1. General Management
Clinically, the exact cause of uterine fibroids remains unclear, but it may be related to factors such as genetics, obesity, and excessive use of estrogen-containing medications. Elevated levels of estrogen in the patient's body can promote chronic congestion in localized areas of the uterus, potentially leading to the development of fibroids. For unmarried patients, if the fibroid is small and the patient has no obvious symptoms, special treatment is usually unnecessary—regular follow-up examinations are sufficient.
2. Medication
If the patient experiences abnormal symptoms such as prolonged menstrual periods or increased vaginal discharge, and the fibroid is relatively large, medications such as medroxyprogesterone acetate tablets, testosterone propionate injection, or mifepristone tablets may be used under a doctor’s guidance to control the growth rate of the fibroid.
3. Surgical Treatment
If the fibroid is very large and compresses surrounding normal tissues—such as the bladder or intestines—and affects their normal physiological functions, causing symptoms like frequent urination or constipation—surgical removal of the lesion at a hospital is recommended.
In daily life, individuals should maintain good personal hygiene, avoid strenuous activities during treatment, keep the genital area dry, and ensure that personal items are used exclusively by the individual.
