Ha Hoa Medical Center successfully operated on a rare large uterine fibroid

(PLVN) - Recently, a female patient had a successful surgery by doctors at Ha Hoa District Medical Center, Phu Tho province to remove a large uterine fibroid - a rare case at the district level.

Female patient LTN (born in 1988, has given birth to 3 children, residing in Cay Lay village, Phin Giang commune, Dien Bien Dong district, Dien Bien province) has a uterine fibroid tumor with a size equivalent to a 6-month fetus.

Born into a family in a particularly difficult area, she had to drop out of school at a young age and start working early to help her family. Lacking the conditions and knowledge of health care, she did not have access to knowledge about the importance of regular health check-ups. Although she had long felt an unusual hard mass in her abdomen, her face was pale, and she was constantly tired, she still tried to endure.

Only when the tumor grew large, became severe and clearly affected her daily life, and her family encouraged her many times, did she go to Ha Hoa Medical Center for examination.

Here, after being examined and doing the necessary paraclinical tests, the doctors discovered that the fibroid tumor occupied almost the entire abdomen, the patient was physically exhausted, and had severe anemia.

Doctor CKII Nguyen Xuan Duong said patient N has been discharged from the hospital.

Under the direct professional guidance of Doctor CKII Nguyen Xuan Duong - Head of Reproductive Health Care Department, the surgical team performed a partial hysterectomy, ensuring complete removal of the tumor while preserving the healthy uterus, limiting future endocrine effects. The surgery went smoothly, safely and successfully. After the surgery, the patient was transfused with 4 units of blood and quickly recovered.

Dr. Nguyen Xuan Duong shared: “Uterine fibroids are a benign disease, but if not detected and treated promptly, they can cause many serious health and psychological consequences. We hope that through this case, women, especially women in remote areas, will pay more attention to their reproductive health.”

This is a testament to the value of primary health care when properly invested and staffed with dedicated, highly qualified doctors. It is also a profound reminder to pay attention to changes in the body – because health is the most valuable asset of every human being!
