Patient's question:
I am 59 years old this year. Recently, I feel that I am in menopause, and my temper is particularly irritable. My menstrual cycle is also abnormal. I had a health check-up yesterday, and it was found that I have uterine fibroids. Hello: Is it necessary to surgically remove uterine fibroids during menopause?Doctor's answer:
If uterine fibroids are relatively small during menopause, clinical diagnosis with careful observation can be considered. Because after menopause, without the stimulation of estrogen, they generally do not grow further. Uterine fibroids will shrink and become smaller. Pay attention to follow-up and careful observation, and undergo regular reexaminations. If the uterine fibroids are large and affect health, such as causing abdominal pain or excessive menstrual bleeding, irregular menstruation, and other symptoms, surgical treatment is still necessary. The recurrence of severe menopausal symptoms poses a serious threat to women's health. Patients need to pay attention to maintaining external genital hygiene and avoiding sexual activity in daily life.
