Patient's question:
Mom recently found out she has uterine fibroids. Because they are quite large, the doctor recommended surgery. Mom wants to know what will happen if only the uterus is removed without taking out the ovaries. Is it better to remove them all together, or is it better to keep them?Doctor's answer:
If your mother suffers from uterine fibroids, a uterine fibroid removal surgery is generally possible. Considering that your mother may have already gone through menopause, the uterus can also be removed. However, it is not necessary to remove the ovaries, as leaving them intact will not affect the patient's sex hormone levels in the body, so there is no need to worry.Medical Advice: In most cases, patients of this age may need to undergo a hysterectomy, but the ovaries do not need to be removed. I hope my explanation helps you.
