What tests need to be done before a hysterectomy for uterine fibroids?

Patient's question:

I am 34 years old, I am a homemaker, and I have three children. Recently, I was carefully diagnosed with uterine fibroids and need to have surgery. But I am a bit upset. Hello, what tests need to be done before uterine fibroid surgery?

Doctor's answer:

In this case, it is not necessary to be overly anxious or tense. It is recommended to relax. Before undergoing a uterine fibroid surgery, it is important to have thorough preoperative examinations. This includes fasting blood tests, complete blood count, blood type, blood sugar, blood lipids, liver and kidney function tests, thyroid function tests, as well as tests for syphilis, HIV, hepatitis virus, etc. Electrocardiogram and chest X-ray examinations are also required. Additionally, a pathological examination will be necessary after the surgery.
