Patient's question:
I have been experiencing a persistent dull ache in my abdomen for the past year. This symptom also occurs when I am not menstruating, but it improves during my period. I am quite concerned. Yesterday, I had a thorough examination at the hospital, and the doctor diagnosed me with uterine fibroids, suggesting surgical treatment. Can uterine fibroids be treated with minimally invasive surgery?Doctor's answer:
Minimally invasive treatment methods are widely used in clinical diagnosis for patients with uterine fibroids. If your doctor recommends minimally invasive treatment, it means your uterine fibroid is not too large. However, there are certain conditions for performing minimally invasive surgery on uterine fibroids. If the fibroid is too large or the diameter of the uterus is less than 10 cm, it is not suitable for minimally invasive surgery. In such cases, an open abdominal surgery must be performed.
