What are the indications for uterine fibroid surgery?

Patient's question:

I am a 56-year-old woman who doesn't usually have much going on, but after having sex with my boyfriend, I always feel uncomfortable in my private area. Not only is the color of my discharge abnormal, but the smell is also very unpleasant. This issue has been troubling me for a long time. Could you please tell me: What are the indications for uterine fibroid surgery?

Doctor's answer:

General surgery for uterine fibroids is primarily recommended for many younger patients who wish to preserve their uterus, or for patients with excessive menstrual bleeding caused by uterine fibroids where medication has been ineffective. Additionally, patients with rapidly growing fibroids that cause symptoms are often advised to undergo surgery. Postoperative care must be properly managed.
After the surgery, patients need to follow a balanced diet, maintain a regular schedule, and regulate their physical and mental health. In daily life, it is important to maintain a positive mood, eat light, soft, and easy-to-digest foods, drink plenty of water, and consume more vegetables and fruits.
