According to doctors at Thanh Nhan Hospital, the 50-year-old female patient comes from a poor family and is the main breadwinner in the family. Nearly 10 years ago, she discovered she had uterine fibroids, but due to financial constraints, she delayed surgery and only treated herself with herbal medicine and tobacco.
Recently, she noticed that her abdomen was growing abnormally fast, causing pain, poor appetite, and difficulty breathing. She went to Thanh Nhan Hospital for examination. The doctor discovered a uterine tumor over 20cm in size, like a 9-month pregnancy, occupying almost the entire abdomen, pushing up close to the diaphragm, compressing the organs in the abdomen, causing the patient a lot of pain and difficulty breathing.
According to Dr. Tran Quyet Thang - Head of Obstetrics and Gynecology Department on demand, Thanh Nhan Hospital, this is a difficult surgery with many risks.
The surgery lasted for many hours, the patient lost a lot of blood and was transfused with 2 additional units of blood during the surgery.
"The specimen was sent for pathology to determine the nature of the tumor, expected to be a benign fibroid," said Dr. Thang.
From the above case, doctors recommend that women of reproductive age, premenopausal and menopausal should have regular gynecological examinations, because uterine fibroids, ovarian cysts, cervical polyps, etc. often progress silently. If detected early, treatment will be simple and have few complications.
