Patient's question:
A 29-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: Which type of uterine fibroid surgery is better?Doctor's answer:
There are two types of surgery for uterine fibroids: one is the uterine fibroid resection, where the uterus is preserved, and the other is the hysterectomy, which involves removing the uterus. For patients who have reached menopause and are not planning to have children, it is generally advisable to opt for a hysterectomy. If the fibroids are removed while preserving the uterus, in addition to the potential risks, patients should also 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.
