Patient's question:
I have recently been constantly feeling lower abdominal pain that is far more severe, and during times of exacerbation, I also experience a feeling of being all over the body. I don't even know what to do about it. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination and found that I have uterine fibroids, which is the reason why I have been in so much pain. Are there any risks associated with the surgical removal of uterine fibroids?Doctor's answer:
In the case of uterine fibroids, if the fibroids are relatively large but less than 5.0 centimeters, surgical treatment can be considered. Generally, surgical treatment carries certain risks. However, if it involves simply removing the fibroids, recovery tends to be relatively quick. Therefore, the main risks include potential anesthesia complications, postoperative intestinal adhesion, and the risk of excessive bleeding during the procedure.
