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: What should I do properly if I have an uterine fibroid?Doctor's answer:
I had surgery last year, so how could such a large fibroid grow in just a year? If the large fibroid was removed last year, and it suddenly reappears now, there needs to be a rule out for malignancy, although the probability is relatively low. If the pain is accompanied by fever, it could be a sign of fibroid degeneration. Specific examination is required with an ultrasound.Guidance and Suggestions: It is recommended to undergo a thorough ultrasound examination to check how rich the blood supply to the tumor is. If it is rich, early surgical treatment should be considered. If it is not rich, careful observation can be performed.
Uterine fibroids are a common gynecological condition that is prone to occur. During medication, women need to pay attention to self-care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is advised that patients avoid sexual activity during treatment and maintain good hygiene. Finally, we wish female patients a speedy recovery!
