Patient's question:
I have had uterine fibroids for a long time, but they are not serious, so I haven't treated them. I am 49 and may be approaching menopause. Will the fibroids disappear after menopause?Doctor's answer:
After menopause, the uterus may also expand on its own with the rise in hormone levels. Therefore, it is currently important to actively and carefully monitor any recurrence of symptoms such as menstrual disorders and abdominal pain. In the perimenopausal period or before menopause, discomfort may occur. In these days, it is advisable to consume more warming foods, pay attention to enhancing nutrition, and avoid stress. Carefully observe the discharge to monitor the situation.
