Patient's question:
Uterine fibroid, on the posterior wall of the uterus, 8.4. Is it better to have a minimally invasive surgery or an open abdominal surgery?Doctor's answer:
Uterine fibroids are located on the posterior wall, with a diameter of 8.4 cm. Whether it's open surgery or minimally invasive surgery, immediate surgery should be performed based on the size of the fibroids. If the fibroids grow too large, they may compress the rectum, causing symptoms of constipation again. Both surgical methods are viable, but minimally invasive surgery is significantly more expensive and leads to a faster postoperative recovery. If financially feasible, it is still recommended to opt for minimally invasive surgery.The daily treatment for patients with uterine fibroids primarily involves symptomatic treatment. Patients can take various oral medications, supplement with vitamins, and pay attention to their diet by consuming light, soft, and easily digestible foods.
