Patient's question:
In the past few months, I've noticed some abnormalities in my vaginal discharge—it has increased, and my menstrual cycle has also become irregular, with the amount of blood flow continuously increasing. Sometimes, I also feel a bit of pain in my lower abdomen. My husband took me to the hospital, and the doctor said I have cervical fibroids. How is laparoscopic surgery for uterine fibroids performed?Doctor's answer:
Uterine fibroids, also known as leiomyomas, are the most common benign tumor of the female reproductive system. Recommendation: Seek treatment from a specialist doctor at a local public hospital. Minimally invasive surgery is currently the most effective way to treat uterine fibroids. The doctor makes three small incisions, each about 5 millimeters in size, in a hidden area of the patient's abdomen and then inserts a laparoscope. Through the television monitor connected to the laparoscope, the doctor can clearly and carefully observe the magnified condition inside the abdomen. Then, the instruments left outside the patient's body are used to perform the treatment.
