Patient's question:
I am a 56-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. I would like to ask: What are the dangers of uterine fibroids?Doctor's answer:
If the examination results of uterine fibroids are not below the standard values, there is generally no major problem. If the uterine fibroids grow larger, it is likely to lead to complications such as vaginal bleeding, anemia, abdominal masses, lower back pain, dysmenorrhea, abnormal leukorrhea, and infertility. Untreated, it may cause damage to the urinary system and kidney function. It is recommended to undergo regular follow-up examinations. Additionally, patients need to maintain a balanced diet, follow a regular sleep schedule, and regulate their physical and mental health. In daily life, it is important to maintain a positive mood, eat light, soft, and easily digestible foods, drink plenty of water, and consume more vegetables and fruits.
