Patient's question:
I am a 51-year-old woman who went through menopause two years ago. However, recently I have been experiencing intense itching in my outer vaginal area and around the vaginal opening, and the odor of my discharge is also quite strong. I would like to ask: Can multiple uterine fibroids be left untreated without surgery?Doctor's answer:
As long as you don't notice the uterine fibroid has grown or continued to worsen during your regular follow-up, conservative treatment is possible. This is because it is not necessary to treat it as long as it does not affect our daily lives. Uterine fibroids are benign tumors that are compatible with us. Then, the patient needs to maintain a balanced diet, follow a regular routine, regulate physical and mental health, and pay attention to keeping a good mood in life. It is also recommended to eat more light, soft, and liquid foods, drink plenty of water, and consume more vegetables and fruits.
