Patient's question:
Doctor, I would like to consult some questions. I have recently noticed that the amount of my menstrual flow is particularly heavy, and my lower back also aches. These past few days, when I touch my abdomen with my hands, it feels like there are lumps inside. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the doctor said it was uterine fibroids and that I need to have a minimally invasive surgery. Under what circumstances can minimally invasive surgery be performed?Doctor's answer:
1. The uterine fibroid is too large, smaller than 3 months of early pregnancy.2. The fibroid controls the bladder and rectum, and urinary and fecal abnormalities have reappeared.
3. The fibroid causes severe irregular bleeding and menorrhagia, which has already led to anemia.
4. The fibroid grows too quickly, raising concerns about the possibility of malignancy.
5. The fibroid is located in an unfavorable position, such as a cervical fibroid or a broad ligament fibroid, which should be surgically removed as soon as possible. Otherwise, as the fibroid grows, it may lead to changes in local anatomical structures, significantly increasing the risk of severe complications such as ureteral injury during surgery.
In addition to treating the uterine fibroid, it is recommended that patients pay attention to their diet in daily life and maintain a happy mood to enhance their physical condition and slow down the recovery process.
