Patient's question:
I am a 59-year-old woman. Recently, while washing my underwear, I have been finding a lot of curd-like discharge on them, and it smells very bad. I also feel that my private area is always damp and a bit itchy, and my lower abdomen is uncomfortable. I would like to ask: What are the harms of uterine fibroids to the body?Doctor's answer:
Uterine fibroids can cause menstrual disorders, abdominal masses, symptom control, pain, increased leukorrhea, infertility, circulatory system symptoms, and other issues, which have caused significant physical and mental harm to many women. Clinical practice has also confirmed that uterine fibroids often lead to secondary nerve damage in the fallopian tubes and ovaries, and are highly prone to coexist with endometrial adenocarcinoma and cervical cancer, making them a major factor affecting the health of modern women. Then, patients need to maintain a balanced diet, follow a regular schedule, regulate their physical and mental health, and pay attention to maintaining a good mood in daily life. They should also eat more light, soft, and liquid foods, drink plenty of water, and consume more vegetables and fruits.
