Recurrent rate after uterine fibroid removal

Patient's question:

I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? Also, what is the recurrence rate after uterine fibroid removal surgery?

Doctor's answer:

If your uterine fibroids are still relatively small now, you may not need to undergo a uterine fibroid resection. You can simply monitor them carefully on an irregular basis. Alternatively, you can take some medication for treatment first. If the uterine fibroids are larger, you can consider the resection procedure. There is also a possibility of recurrence after the surgery, with a recurrence rate of about 20%. Uterine fibroids are primarily related to hormonal levels in the body, which is why they tend to recur.
