Is it normal to have submucosal uterine fibroids after menopause?

Patient's question:

A 60-year-old woman, who has been postmenopausal for over ten years, suddenly experiences a discharge of yellow fluid. After a thorough examination, the result shows a submucosal uterine fibroid. Is this normal? What should be done?

Doctor's answer:

According to the situation you described, uterine fibroids are benign tumors, and the size of the fibroids is relatively large, causing discomfort in the body. Therefore, surgical removal is necessary. Please confirm the treatment measures based on the patient's physical condition, such as if the fibroids are small, medication can be taken for conservative treatment, and the recovery of the fibroids should be closely monitored. If the fibroids are less than 5 centimeters or growing rapidly, surgical treatment is required.
