Patient's question:
Usually, there's not much going on, but every time I have sex with my boyfriend, I feel extremely uncomfortable in my stomach. This issue has been troubling me for a long time. Please ask: What should I do after being diagnosed with uterine fibroids?Doctor's answer:
1. Moderately control sexual activity, as unclean sexual practices or excessively frequent sexual activity can both pose risks to uterine health. Especially when sexual practices are unclean, pathogens can enter the uterine cavity through the vagina, leading to endometrial infection and even the recurrence of uterine fibroids.2. Pay attention to hygiene. Women should always maintain clean and dry external genitalia and wear comfortable, loose cotton underwear. If there is excessive discharge, it is important to clean the external genitalia. However, avoid excessive frequency or using cleaning solutions with high concentrations. Proper external genital hygiene can, to some extent, prevent pathogens from entering the uterus and causing uterine fibroids. For women with uterine fibroids, in addition to oral medication, it is also essential to focus on self-care, such as maintaining hygiene during treatment and keeping the private area clean. Finally, it is advised that female patients undergo regular follow-up examinations!
