Doctor Nguyen Van Ha - Deputy Director of Thu Cuc International General Hospital and Head of Obstetrics and Gynecology Department directly performed the procedure, helping to preserve the uterus and retain the patient's motherhood.

Patient Kyeremaa Navis, 40 years old, a foreign teacher from the Republic of Ghana, currently living in Hanoi . For a long time, she suffered from epigastric pain, heavy and irregular menstruation. The patient went to many large hospitals in the country and internationally and was diagnosed with uterine and ovarian fibroids. Doctors advised the patient to have a hysterectomy for treatment.

However, because she only had one child, the patient wanted to keep her uterus so she could get pregnant in the future, so she delayed treatment, causing the tumor to continue to increase in size.

After evaluating and considering the advantages and disadvantages of preserving the uterus, the doctors decided to perform surgery to remove the tumor, retain the uterus, and give the patient the opportunity to become pregnant in the future.

The surgery lasted 6 hours, the doctors removed a total of 29 tumors in the front, 31 tumors in the back of the uterus and many other small fibroids. The patient's health is currently stable.

Through this case, doctors recommend that women need to update more knowledge about uterine fibroids:

- These are usually benign tumors, but can cause a lot of trouble.

- It often forms silently, with no obvious initial symptoms.

- Common in the age group of 30-50.

- If the tumor is larger than 50mm or causes symptoms, it should be treated to avoid complications.
