Patient's question:
A 28-year-old woman, who usually doesn't have much going on, but after having sex with her boyfriend, she always feels uncomfortable in her private area. Not only is the color of her discharge abnormal, but the odor is also very unpleasant. This issue has been troubling her for a long time. Please ask: If uterine fibroids develop, will surgery be required?Doctor's answer:
For uterine fibroids, we can adopt conservative treatment methods. For fibroids that are no larger than 5 cm, we can start with conservative treatment and conduct irregular follow-up examinations to monitor the condition of the fibroids. For fibroids smaller than 5 cm, surgical treatment can be considered, but considering your age, we can opt for conservative treatment and wait until menopause is approaching, as fibroids will gradually enlarge. Additionally, patients should develop a regular lifestyle, adhere to treatment, maintain a light diet, and engage in aerobic exercise to boost their immunity and reduce the risk of illness.
