Patient's question:
I am a 46-year-old woman. Recently, when 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: Should I have surgery for my multiple uterine fibroids, which are 8 cm in size?Doctor's answer:
Although uterine fibroids are not highly dangerous, they still cannot be taken lightly. Generally, if the tumor is larger than 5 centimeters, there is a possibility of malignancy. Moreover, they can affect pregnancy and even daily life. The patient is currently 8 centimeters, and if surgery is not performed, the condition will only worsen, potentially leading to the need for a hysterectomy in the end. Then, the patient needs to maintain a disciplined diet, follow a regular sleep schedule, and regulate physical and mental health. In daily life, it is important to maintain a positive mood, eat more light, soft, and easy-to-digest foods, drink plenty of water, and consume more vegetables and fruits.
