Patient's question:
I am a 41-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 answer the following question: Is surgery necessary for multiple uterine fibroids?Doctor's answer:
If the uterine fibroids are less than 5 cm and the menstrual cycle is normal, there is no need to solve it immediately. You can wait and see by carefully observing, and during this period, you can take Guizhi Fuling Pills for treatment. Generally, uterine fibroids in women may shrink on their own after menopause. However, in your case, you have multiple fibroids and they are already 8 cm in size. It is recommended that you undergo surgical treatment to prevent the fibroids from growing further.Then, the patient needs to maintain a balanced diet, follow a regular sleep schedule, and regulate physical and mental health. In daily life, it is important to keep a positive mood, eat more light, soft, and liquid foods, drink plenty of water, and consume more vegetables and fruits.
