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 abdominal surgery?Doctor's answer:
The uterine fibroid is located on the posterior wall and measures 8.4 cm in diameter. Whether it is an open surgery or a minimally invasive surgery, it should be performed immediately based on the size of the fibroid. If the fibroid grows too large, it may compress the rectum, causing constipation again. Both surgical methods are available, but the minimally invasive option is much more expensive and leads to a quicker full recovery. If financially feasible, it is still recommended to choose the 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.
