Patient's question:
Hello doctor, the patient usually has no symptoms, but sometimes experiences dizziness. About ten days ago, they went to the hospital for a physical examination and were found to have uterine fibroids. They were then immediately admitted for surgery. During the surgery, the doctor suspected it was uterine sarcoma and first removed the lesion. The doctor said to wait for the pathology report to come out, and if it was confirmed to be uterine sarcoma, a second surgery would be needed to remove the uterine. I am worried that the first surgery only removed the lesion, and this might cause metastasis? In such a case, will the surgery still be hopeful?Doctor's answer:
Uterine fibroids are the most common benign tumors in women. Most do not cause obvious symptoms, and if symptoms do occur, they are related to the location and growth rate of the tumor. If the fibroids are small and asymptomatic, treatment is generally not required. For those with mild or non-existent symptoms or those who cannot tolerate surgery, symptomatic treatment with medication may be given. If the fibroids are larger or symptoms are significant, surgical treatment is recommended. The occurrence of uterine sarcoma not only affects women's health but also leads to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to undergo routine gynecological examinations at the hospital to identify the cause and receive symptomatic treatment. It is also important to drink plenty of water and maintain good personal hygiene.
