Patient's question:
I went through menopause two years ago, but recently I've been experiencing intense itching in my external genitalia and around the vaginal opening, and the odor of my discharge is also quite strong. My question is: can uterine fibroids be cured?Doctor's answer:
Uterine fibroids are common benign tumors in women. If the fibroids are small and asymptomatic, surgery may not be necessary. However, if the fibroids are larger or accompanied by symptoms such as menstrual irregularities or anemia, surgery is generally required.In general, for multiple uterine fibroids, a total hysterectomy is recommended. For a single fibroid, the option to either perform a total hysterectomy or a simple fibroid removal to preserve the uterus can be considered.
Uterine fibroids are a gynecological condition that can easily recur. During medication, women should pay close attention to their self-care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is advised that patients maintain clean external genitalia and change their underwear frequently.
Finally, we wish all female patients a speedy recovery!
