Patient's question:
A 60-year-old person has had uterine fibroids for many years, but they have severe anemia. What should be done for the elderly person with uterine fibroids and severe anemia?Doctor's answer:
Based on the size of the uterine fibroid carefully examined by ultrasound, laparoscopic surgery can be performed, which is what you call minimally invasive surgery. It is recommended to first undergo a diagnostic to remove any abnormal endometrium before the surgery. Mild anemia is not severe, as the bleeding lasts for a long time each month, so a diagnostic should be done first. These procedures can now be performed at county-level hospitals, and it is not necessary to go to a large hospital. The patient needs to go to a regular, top-tier hospital as soon as possible for systematic and standardized examinations based on their condition, so that they can receive targeted treatment and recover quickly.
