Patient's question:
A while ago, I wasn't feeling well and went to the hospital for a thorough check-up. It turned out that there was a tumor growing in my uterus, which is why my abdomen has been slightly protruding. I had always thought it was because I was gaining weight. Fortunately, the doctor said that most uterine fibroids are benign. However, I felt it wasn't safe to leave it inside, so the doctor recommended that I have a hysteroscopic surgery to completely remove the tumor. How is a uterine fibroid surgery performed?Doctor's answer:
1, Generally speaking, if the growth location of uterine fibroids is within the uterine muscular wall and on the serosal surface of the uterus, and the size is less than 3 centimeters, surgery is not required. However, living with fibroids still carries certain risks and requires close follow-up;2, Seek treatment from a specialist doctor at a local public hospital. However, if the size of the uterine fibroid is greater than 3 centimeters and the blood supply is rich, surgery should be performed as soon as possible. If there are multiple uterine fibroids, generally no more than 3 in number, with the largest being less than 8 centimeters, laparoscopic surgery is acceptable.
