Is it better to have a total hysterectomy or a subtotal hysterectomy for multiple uterine fibroids?

Patient's question:

I am a 48-year-old woman who generally doesn't 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 odor is also very unpleasant. This issue has been troubling me for a long time. Could you please advise: Is it better to have a total hysterectomy or a subtotal hysterectomy if I have multiple uterine fibroids?

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, you have multiple uterine fibroids, and in addition to anemia. It is still better to have a total hysterectomy here. If you carefully examine the cervix and find no abnormalities, you can also consider a subtotal hysterectomy. As for what to do specifically, you should go to the hospital for a thorough examination and consult with the doctor. Then, the patient needs to maintain a balanced diet, follow a regular schedule, regulate physical and mental health, and pay attention to keeping a good mood in daily life. It is also important to eat light, soft, and liquid foods, drink plenty of water, and consume more vegetables and fruits.
