Patient's question:
Last year, I had an issue, and after checking at the hospital, I was prescribed medication. Both the topical and oral treatments quickly controlled it. However, recently, my private area has started to feel uncomfortable again. My discharge is also abnormal, and the odor is particularly strong. Please ask: How should uterine fibroids be treated?Doctor's answer:
Uterine fibroids, also known as leiomyomas, are the most common benign tumors of the female reproductive system. When the fibroids are small, asymptomatic, without complications or degeneration, they do not interfere with health. In perimenopausal patients without clinical diagnostic symptoms, it is considered that the fibroids may shrink or grow due to ovarian function decline. All of the above situations can adopt the expectant therapy, which is to follow up and observe carefully at irregular intervals (every 3 to 6 months). For patients with uterine fibroids, in addition to taking medication, it is also necessary to pay attention to self-care training, such as paying attention to hygiene during treatment and keeping the private parts clean. Finally, it is advised that female patients must have follow-up examinations at irregular intervals!
