Patient's question:
My wife has not been able to get pregnant since her divorce. We went to the hospital, and it was found that she has uterine fibroids, which are causing her infertility. She has been feeling very down these days and insists that she must be treated. She really wants to have a child who belongs to both of us. The doctor said she can have surgery for the uterine fibroids.Doctor's answer:
Hysteromyoma resection: This procedure involves the removal of fibroids from the uterus while preserving the organ. It is primarily used for women under 45, especially those under 40. It is not only performed for infertile women who have no children but also for those who already have children, with larger fibroids (diameter greater than 6 cm), excessive menstrual bleeding that does not respond to conservative medication, or fibroids with symptoms that need control. Submucosal fibroids or fibroids that grow rapidly are also considered for resection. For mental and physical health, enucleation should also be adopted. Regarding the number of fibroids, it is usually limited to 15 or fewer.
