Pain during the removal surgery of uterine fibroids is this a postoperative complication?

Patient's question:

In 2008, by chance, I discovered that I had uterine fibroids. At that time, I had surgery to remove the fibroids. Now, almost twenty years have passed, and my abdomen is showing symptoms again—pain. Is this a? What should I do?

Doctor's answer:

Since uterine fibroids were previously discovered, and now abdominal pain has reappeared, it is recommended to go to the hospital for a follow-up ultrasound examination. There is still a possibility of recurrence of uterine fibroids, even after surgery. If the fibroids are relatively small, oral medication can be taken for treatment. If the fibroids are larger and cause excessive menstrual bleeding or prolonged periods, surgical treatment may be necessary. In addition to symptomatic treatment, patients with uterine fibroids should maintain a proper diet in daily life to digest nutrients well. I hope the above answer can help you. Thank you!
