Patient's question:
I am a 48-year-old woman who 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: How is multiple uterine fibroids generally treated?Doctor's answer:
If a patient with uterine fibroids has no obvious symptoms and no signs of malignancy, it can be decided to undergo irregular follow-up and careful observation. Surgical treatment for uterine fibroids includes myomectomy and hysterectomy, which can be performed via the abdomen or vagina, or through endoscopic surgery. The decision on the surgical method and approach depends on factors such as the patient's age, whether pregnancy is desired, the size and location of the fibroids, and the availability of medical technology.
