Patient's question:
I had one incident last year. At that time, after checking at the hospital, I was prescribed medication. Both topical and oral treatments quickly controlled it. However, recently, discomfort has returned to my private area, and my discharge is abnormal with a very strong odor. Please ask: What should early-stage uterine fibroid patients pay attention to?Doctor's answer:
Uterine fibroids are the most common benign tumors in women and are hormone-dependent tumors. They generally grow slowly, and most gradually increase after menopause.Guidance: Your mother's fibroids are not large and do not interfere with her menstrual cycle. Additionally, since she is already 51 years old, surgical treatment is not necessary. Fibroids cannot be scraped off; a D&C (dilation and curettage) procedure is performed on the endometrium. If her menstrual cycle is irregular, it may be due to ovarian dysfunction during perimenopause, which is unrelated to the fibroids.
Uterine fibroids are a gynecological condition that can easily occur. During treatment, women should pay attention to self-care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients maintain clean external genitalia, change underwear frequently, and finally, wish female patients a speedy recovery!
