Patient's question:
Uterine fibroids, 43 years old, size 3.8 last year, 6.3 this year. The doctor recommended only removing the fibroids. But I'm afraid that if only the fibroids are removed, the disease may recur in two years. Is it better to have a total hysterectomy or just remove the fibroids? What are the effects of a total hysterectomy on the body?Doctor's answer:
If it affects menstruation, a uterine fibroid removal can be performed, but there is also a possibility of complications. A simple uterine fibroid removal has little interference on the body. First, have an ultrasound examination to check the growth location of the uterine fibroid. If it is a submucosal uterine fibroid, a laparoscopic uterine fibroid removal can be directly performed. If it is a intramural or submucosal uterine fibroid, you can decide whether to have a uterine fibroid removal or a hysterectomy based on your preference. It is best to choose uterine fibroid removal. In addition to timely treatment for uterine fibroids, friends with the disease should always maintain a positive attitude to face the illness. Only in this way can patients receive timely and appropriate treatment.
