Patient's question:
I am a 55-year-old woman, and I went through menopause two years ago. However, recently I have been experiencing intense itching in my external genitalia and around the vaginal opening, and the odor of my discharge is also quite strong. Could you please tell me: What are the dangers of having uterine fibroids?Doctor's answer:
Uterine fibroids are benign tumors related to female hormone levels. They are also a common gynecological disease among women. If they grow in the uterine muscle layer and serosal layer, they generally do not cause significant problems. If they are located in the mucosal layer, they may lead to excessive menstrual bleeding. Treatment options are primarily chosen based on the patient's age, the size of the fibroids, and the symptoms. Most general hospitals can treat uterine fibroids. Then, patients need to maintain a balanced diet, follow a regular schedule, regulate physical and mental health, and pay attention to keeping a positive mood in daily life. It is also recommended to eat light, soft, and easily digestible foods, drink plenty of water, and consume more vegetables and fruits.
