Patient's question:
I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? How long should I wear an abdominal band after an abdominal surgery?Doctor's answer:
Hello, considering it may be uterine fibroids, if the size is not large, there is no need to worry as it generally has no significant impact on the body. Regular follow-up is recommended. If the size exceeds 5 cm or if there are obvious symptoms such as increased or irregular menstrual bleeding, surgery can be performed to remove the fibroid. Minimally invasive treatment can be used, allowing for faster recovery.Asymptomatic, without complications or degeneration, it has no impact on health. For perimenopausal patients without clinical symptoms, the possibility of fibroid shrinkage or reduction should be considered due to potential ovarian function decline. However, since the patient is over 40 years old and may still be several years away from menopause, surgery can also be considered. But before surgery, conservative drug treatment can be initiated. If the medication is effective, surgery may be postponed.
It should also be noted that in postmenopausal women with fibroids, a small number of patients may experience fibroid enlargement rather than shrinkage, so close follow-up is necessary.
