Patient's question:
I used to have minimally invasive surgery for uterine fibroids and cysts, which was about eight years ago. Recently, the wound area has been itchy, like being scratched by ants. Hello doctor, what is going on?Doctor's answer:
In your case, you might have developed hypertrophic scars. If you scratch when you feel itchy, it can lead to further hypertrophic scarring. It is recommended to avoid scratching the scars, visit a dermatologist, wear loose cotton underwear, and avoid spicy or irritating foods.Patients directly affected by uterine fibroids should promptly follow the principle of symptomatic treatment and should not avoid seeking medical attention. If uterine fibroids do not respond to treatment, it is important to promptly adjust the treatment plan.
