Is a 14mm uterine fibroid serious?

The female urinary system is composed of the uterus, ovaries, vagina, and fallopian tubes. Any disease in any of these parts will cause functional problems in the female urinary system, leading to various symptoms in the patient and affecting the patient's normal quality of life. Common female urinary system diseases include vaginitis, salpingitis, uterine fibroids, etc. So, in terms of the disease of uterine fibroids, is a 14mm uterine fibroid considered more serious?

We know that tumors include benign and malignant tumors, and uterine fibroids are a common benign tumor in the female urinary system. The cause of the disease is closely related to the abnormal proliferation of uterine smooth muscle cells.

Uterine fibroids can cause some significant symptoms in patients. First of all, because the uterus is the cause of menstruation, when uterine fibroids appear in the uterus, it will have a certain impact on women's menstruation. Patients may experience symptoms such as heavy menstrual bleeding or irregular vaginal bleeding. In addition, some patients may also experience symptoms such as lower abdominal pain, back pain, and menstrual pain, which should attract the attention of patients.

The size of uterine fibroids in different patients is different, which is related to the patient's current medical history and the level of estrogen in the body. Generally speaking, for uterine fibroids less than two centimeters, conservative treatment can be chosen, and the uterine fibroids will become smaller through medication. Therefore, when the uterine fibroid is 14 mm, the tumor is considered small and the impact on the patient will not be significant.

In general, as a kind of benign tumor, the impact of uterine fibroids on patients is greatly related to the size of the tumor. For 14mm uterine fibroids, the impact on patients is generally not too serious, and some patients may not have obvious feelings. However, if the patient has some discomfort or the examination finds a significant change in the trend, treatment should be carried out in time to avoid delaying treatment.
