Patient's question:
I am a 47-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. I would like to ask: Is it necessary to remove the uterus for multiple uterine fibroids?Doctor's answer:
Multiple uterine fibroids are primarily treated with surgical intervention. The concern is not about removing the uterus, as in your friend's case, the treatment mainly focuses on removing the fibroids. Uterus removal is generally more suitable for elderly patients or those who do not require fertility. It is recommended that your friend actively cooperate with the doctor during treatment. Additionally, 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.
