Dr. Liu Xiaohui
Hello, cervical leiomyomas (fibroids) are typically caused by estrogen stimulation and represent a subtype of uterine fibroids. Their incidence is relatively low, and they rarely undergo malignant transformation. However, as they enlarge, they may compress surrounding structures, leading to symptoms such as menorrhagia (heavy menstrual bleeding), prolonged menstruation, and irregular vaginal bleeding. Asymptomatic cases generally require no specific treatment. We hope this information is helpful to you. Wishing you a happy and healthy life!
