Patient's question:
Multiple fibroids, with three being relatively large, the largest measuring 8 cm. Originally, I thought about having a minimally invasive surgery, but the doctor said they are too large and minimally invasive surgery is not possible. Instead, they recommended an open abdominal surgery. Is that really true? How is the laparoscopic uterine fibroid exclusion surgery performed?Doctor's answer:
The recurrence of uterine fibroids is related to hormonal imbalance. Tumors smaller than 5 cm can be treated with medication to control their growth. It is recommended to undergo a thorough examination and treatment at a local top-tier hospital. If the tumor is smaller than 5 cm, the doctor may suggest surgical treatment. Generally, a single fibroid can be removed through surgery. If the fibroids are multiple and the patient has not yet entered menopause, the doctor may recommend hysterectomy to prevent the recurrence of uterine fibroids.
