Patient's question:
These days, while washing my underwear, I always find a lot of cheesy-looking discharge on them, and it smells very bad. I also feel that my private area is always damp and a bit itchy, and my lower abdomen feels uncomfortable. Please ask: I have uterine fibroids that are not very large, how should they be treated?Doctor's answer:
Uterine fibroids are a common gynecological disease, most of which are benign tumors. However, it cannot be ruled out that uterine fibroids may become malignant. The recurrence of uterine fibroids is related to long-term excessive estrogen levels leading to endocrine disorders. If the size of the fibroid is no more than 2 centimeters, it should not interfere with pregnancy. The impact on pregnancy depends on the location of the fibroid growth: if the fibroid is only located in the muscular wall, it has little impact on pregnancy. If the fibroid grows at the opening of the fallopian tube, it may affect pregnancy, and in this case, it may manifest as an increase in menstrual flow. If a person is diagnosed with uterine fibroids, timely treatment should be sought, such as radiofrequency ablation, which does not require abdominal surgery. The procedure is performed under the full monitoring of a screen.
