Dr. Harvard Lin from the Asian Obstetrics and Gynaecology Centre, in this CNA feature, explains that while uterine fibroids are common and benign, their size and location can affect fertility by disrupting the uterine environment. He emphasises early diagnosis through regular check-ups, particularly for women with heavy periods, pelvic pain, or difficulty conceiving. Treatment options—ranging from medication to minimally invasive procedures—can be tailored to preserve fertility and improve quality of life.
