Introduction
Intramural uterine fibroids located at the fundus are generally not serious if small in size, but can be more serious if large. Patients are advised to receive symptomatic treatment as directed by their physician. If the fibroid is small, with a diameter less than 5 cm, and the patient has no abnormal symptoms, it is usually considered mild. However, if the patient experiences discomfort or symptoms, prompt medical evaluation at a hospital is recommended to avoid delaying treatment.
Generally, intramural uterine fibroids located in the fundal region are considered mild if small in size and more serious if large. Patients are advised to follow medical advice for symptomatic treatment. Specific analysis is as follows:
1. Mild condition
If the intramural uterine fibroid in the fundal region is small, with a diameter less than 5 cm, and the patient has no abnormal symptoms, it is usually considered a mild condition. In such cases, patients can follow their doctor's instructions for regular follow-up examinations. Medications such as mifepristone tablets or triptorelin acetate injection may also be used under medical guidance.
2. Severe condition
If the intramural uterine fibroid in the fundal region is relatively large, exceeding 5 cm in diameter, and the patient experiences symptoms such as increased menstrual bleeding, abnormal vaginal bleeding, palpable abdominal mass, or abnormal vaginal discharge, the condition is considered more serious. Patients should seek timely medical attention and, under medical supervision, may use medications such as Gongliuxiao capsules or Guizhi Fuling pills for treatment.
If patients experience any discomfort, they are advised to promptly visit a hospital for evaluation and treatment to avoid delays in managing the condition.
