Patient's question:
My wife has gone through menopause and has stopped menstruating, but a detailed ultrasound examination revealed two 2cm uterine fibroids in her uterus, in addition to a few small ones. Besides the IUD, which hasn't been removed, the examination showed that the uterine fibroids have not grown in the past year. Should the IUD be removed? Since the uterine fibroids don't require treatment, is that okay?Doctor's answer:
Now that I'm past menopause, if the fibroids aren't causing any symptoms, it's okay to leave them alone for now and wait and see. You can remove your IUD, and just pay attention to maintaining vaginal hygiene. Menopause is a gynecological condition that is prone to occur during this period. While taking medication, women need to pay close attention to their own care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients pay more attention to keeping the external genitalia clean and changing their underwear frequently.
