Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: I have multiple uterine fibroids, the largest measuring 6.9X5.9, and the size of the uterus is 6.6X4.9X3.7. Please advise whether surgical treatment or hysterectomy is better, laparoscopic surgery or open abdominal surgery, and their respective advantages and disadvantages. If only uterine stripping is performed, will the recurrence rate be high in the future? Thank you, expert.Doctor's answer:
Can be performed with minimally invasive surgery. For the surgical treatment of uterine fibroids, some women often have a fear of the procedure. In fact, with the advancement of surgical technology, procedures like uterine fibroid surgery are no longer traditional open abdominal surgery. Moreover, the vast majority of patients who undergo surgical treatment experience a much more optimistic recovery compared to those who opt for conservative treatment.
