Patient's question:
My uterine fibroid has been discovered for 6 years, prone to occurring. Currently, I am hospitalized for treatment, and surgery has not yet been performed. The doctor suggested that the uterus could be removed, but friends around me have all sorts of opinions. How should uterine fibroids be treated?Doctor's answer:
The traditional method for treating uterine fibroids involves open surgery, which results in large incisions and a slower recovery. In contrast, laparoscopic surgery, this new technology, offers many advantages. It has smaller incisions, less patient pain, and a quicker recovery.Advantages of laparoscopic surgery for uterine fibroids:
- Minimal surgical trauma
- Less postoperative pain
- Particularly beneficial for women who have not borne children
- Rapid recovery after surgery
The day after surgery, patients can start eating semi-liquid foods and get out of bed for movement. Most patients can be discharged within 3 days postoperatively and can return to normal life within a week.
Uterine fibroids are a common gynecological condition that is prone to recurrence. During medication, women need to pay attention to self-care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients maintain clean external genitalia and change underwear frequently. Finally, we wish all female patients a speedy recovery.
