Patient's question:
Hello, I haven't had children yet, and now I've been carefully checked to have uterine fibroids. The doctor also said that only an abdominal surgery can cure them, which has made me very scared. I want to ask how abdominal surgery treats uterine fibroids, and how long should I wait after the surgery before I can have children again?Doctor's answer:
The traditional method for treating uterine fibroids involves making an incision on the abdomen to remove the uterus or the fibroids. However, this approach is not only highly invasive, prone to postoperative infections, requires a long hospital stay, and is expensive, but it is also particularly difficult for women who have not yet become pregnant to endure. Even if the uterus is not removed, pregnancy is not possible for at least three years to avoid the risk of uterine incision rupture. The recurrence of uterine fibroids poses a serious threat to women's health, and patients need to maintain cleanliness of the external genitalia and avoid sexual activity in daily life. Finally, it is hoped that female patients can receive proper treatment.
