Patient's question:
Uterine fibroid 12 cm, do I need to have my uterus removed? If it is removed, can it be done laparoscopically or is it necessary to have an open surgery?Doctor's answer:
Hello, your fibroids are quite large now, and it is recommended to undergo a total hysterectomy for effective prevention of recurrence. You can have a minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery at the hospital. Post-surgery, you will need to change the dressing after three days and remove the stitches after seven days. In your case, if the fibroid is 12 centimeters, it is considered relatively large. The treatment method should be chosen based on the location of the tumor and corresponding clinical symptoms, under the guidance of a doctor.
