Patient's question:
In 2006, I underwent a laparoscopic surgery at the local hospital due to blocked fallopian tubes. At that time, there were no other diseases, except for clearing the fallopian tubes and removing a small 0.3 cm fibroid. However, I still couldn't have children. In July of the following year, I had another laparoscopic surgery at the same hospital, where I was told I was HIV-positive. I felt terrified and deeply sad at the time. To this day, I still don't have a child. This year, I noticed that I could feel an egg-sized lump in my left abdomen with my own hand. On April 2, I went to the hospital for an ultrasound, and it was found that my uterus had enlarged to 15 cm, with the largest fibroid measuring 5 cm. I consulted Guangzhou Di Ba People's Hospital, but they refused to admit me, saying I wasn't a local resident of Guangzhou.Doctor's answer:
Hello, considering it may be uterine fibroids. If the size is not large, there is no need to worry, as it generally has no significant impact on the body. Regular follow-up is recommended. If the size exceeds 5 cm or if there are obvious symptoms such as increased or irregular menstrual bleeding, surgery can be performed to remove the fibroids. Minimally invasive treatment can be adopted, allowing for a faster recovery.
