30 years old had 4 large uterine fibroids, warning about periodic health check

Bag fibroids but do not go to the doctor regularly

News from Quang Ninh Provincial General Hospital said that the hospital has just treated 1 patient with fibroids with multiple tumors at a relatively young age.

The patient is Ms. TN (30 years old, living in Luc Hon commune, Binh Lieu district, Quang Ninh). She was admitted to the hospital in a state of pain in the lower abdomen, palpating a tumor in her abdomen.

According to the family, the patient went to the doctor and discovered a mass fibroids for many years and have regular appointments.

However, because I saw the block fibroids does not affect her health and work, so Ms. N subjectively does not check regularly. Recently, Ms. N felt pain in her lower abdomen, when she felt a lump, she urinated a lot at night, so she went to the Provincial General Hospital for examination.

The results of ultrasound and tomography showed multi-size fibroids in the uterus. Doctors diagnose patients with multiple fibroids and indicated surgical removal of fibroids.

The laparotomy surgeon checked and found 4 fibroids in different positions in the uterus, with a large size of 3-5 cm. The surgical team skillfully dissected 4 tumors and restored the uterine wall to preserve the patient’s uterus after more than 1 hour of effort.

Due to the quick treatment, the patient did not lose blood. After 2 days of surgery, the patient’s health is stable, the incision is dry, eating well and walking normally.

Doctor Tran Thi Huyen, Head of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology (Quang Ninh General Hospital), patient N has polymyalgia fibroids can be treated with different surgical methods.

However, because the patient was young, from the wishes of the patient and his family, the surgical team performed an open surgery to remove the tumor and preserve the patient’s uterus.

This is the best treatment method, because in the uterus of patient N. there is a tumor located close to the mucosa and below the serosa. Tumors in this position, if the tumor embolizes the tumor, when it is necrotic due to lack of blood supply, the tumor can fall in the uterus and pose a risk of infection.

Moreover, the patient is from an ethnic minority, in a remote area, with a difficult family, so the open dissection method will reduce the burden of treatment costs for the patient.

Because the patient is young, only 30 years old, has only had one child, so the doctors decided to keep the uterus to help the patient continue to become pregnant later.

Fibroids need to be treated soon

According to Doctor Huyen, uterine tumor is a familiar disease of women, in the early stages it is often difficult to detect because there are no specific symptoms.

Often, patients will find the tumor incidentally on imaging tests. Or when it comes to a certain stage, the large tumor will cause obvious symptoms: abdominal pain, menstrual disorders, always feeling the need to urinate because the tumor presses on the bladder.

Especially the risk of serious complications during pregnancy, such as miscarriage, bleeding … dangerous to the patient’s life. However, on a case-by-case basis, doctors will choose the right treatment method for the patient.

Doctor Huyen recommends that women should spend at least every 6 months for periodic health check-ups to prevent common diseases in women, including: fibroids and be treated early to avoid complications as well as high treatment costs.
