A rapid growth criterion is usually a marked increase in fibroid size over a short period of time. Regular ultrasound examinations are usually used to compare changes in fibroid size. If fibroids increase in diameter by more than 1 cm or significantly in size over several months on consecutive examinations, they are considered to be growing rapidly. This is because fibroids normally grow relatively slowly, and rapid growth may indicate abnormalities. Rapid growth of fibroids may indicate potential problems. For example, there may be a tendency for uterine fibroids to become malignant. Although the probability of uterine fibroids becoming malignant is low, rapid growth is one of the signals to be vigilant. In addition, fast-growing fibroids may also be more likely to cause clinical symptoms such as increased menstrual flow, prolonged periods, lower abdominal pain, frequent urination, etc., which seriously affect the patient's quality of life. When fibroids are found to grow faster, doctors often monitor their changes more closely and may recommend more frequent ultrasound examinations. At the same time, the doctor will take into account the patient's age, fertility needs, fibroid location and symptoms to determine further treatment options. This may include medication to control fibroid growth or surgery if necessary to remove fibroids. For patients with uterine fibroids, regular follow-up to monitor fibroid growth is essential. If fibroids are found to grow fast, they should communicate with the doctor in time and follow the doctor's advice for further examination and treatment.
