Patient's question:
Hello, I accidentally got pregnant and had an ultrasound which revealed a uterine fibroid. Can I have an abortion procedure done at the same time?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, patients with uterine fibroids can undergo an abortion procedure, so you don't need to worry too much. You can have a specific and thorough examination before the surgery to determine the exact size of the fibroids.Guidelines and suggestions: If the fibroids are larger than 5 cm, it is recommended to remove them along with the abortion procedure. If they are smaller than 5 cm, surgical removal is not necessary. After the abortion, it is important to focus on anti-inflammatory measures to prevent infection.
Uterine fibroids are a common gynecological condition that is prone to occur. During medication, women need to pay attention to their self-care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is advised that patients maintain clean external genitalia and change underwear frequently. Finally, we wish all female patients a speedy recovery!
