Patient's question:
Today, my workplace recommended going to the hospital for a health check-up. The ultrasound results showed that I have a uterine fibroid on the posterior wall, measuring 7 cm. I want to ask if it's difficult to perform the procedure on the posterior wall and if removing the fibroid would be challenging. During the ultrasound, the doctor mentioned that the posterior wall was not very clear. Is it safe to have surgery in this case?Doctor's answer:
If a careful examination of the uterine appendages through ultrasound indicates a fibroid on the posterior wall of the uterus that exceeds 7 centimeters, this situation warrants surgical intervention to prevent complications such as irregular vaginal bleeding, lower abdominal pain, and backache. You can choose between open surgery or laparoscopic minimally invasive surgery, as both procedures are now relatively well-established with lower risks. Maintain a positive attitude and follow the doctor's advice for treatment.
