Patient's question:
Since I have low placenta, I am planning to have a cesarean section. Hello, can a uterine fibroid removal surgery be performed at the same time as a cesarean section? The fibroid is about 2 cm in size. What are the risks? Additionally, can an intrauterine device (IUD) be inserted during a cesarean section? It is said that inserting an IUD at this time can result in a more proper position. Can uterine fibroids be removed during a cesarean section?Doctor's answer:
Uterine fibroids are benign tumors, and approximately 20% of women over the age of 30 suffer from this condition. Generally, doctors will choose the mode of delivery based on the patient's condition before giving birth. If a cesarean section is performed, the fetus is removed first, and then the fibroid or the uterus is removed. Cesarean section brings very great harm to patients. Once symptoms are detected, it is important to seek medical attention promptly, while also paying close attention to dietary issues. A diet based on light and simple foods will help in the recovery process.
