Patient's question:
Female, 55 years old. I went through menopause two years ago, but recently I've been experiencing intense itching in the external genitalia and around the vaginal opening, and the odor of my discharge is also quite strong. Please ask: How is uterine fibroids treated?Doctor's answer:
The recurrence of uterine fibroids is related to hormonal imbalance. Tumors smaller than 5 cm can be treated with medication to control their growth. If the size is below 5 cm, doctors may recommend surgical treatment. Generally, a single fibroid can be removed through surgery. For multiple fibroids, especially in patients who have not yet entered menopause, doctors may advise removing the uterus to prevent further growth. Uterine fibroids are a common gynecological condition. During medication, women need to pay attention to self-care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients avoid sexual activity during treatment and maintain good hygiene. Finally, we wish all female patients a speedy recovery!
