Uterine fibroids are known as the "number one gynecological tumor". As a healthy disease, uterine fibroids are not easy to develop. However, in my country, 1.5 million women have their hysterectomy due to uterine fibroids every year. As we ask when so many unnecessary hysterectomies can be stopped, we feel even more sad and heartbroken for the sisters who have had their hysterectomies removed. Let’s take a look at the patient’s sister’s personal experience of hysterectomy: The uterus is the guardian of women's youth and elegance and an important reproductive organ. However, some women have their uteruses removed for various reasons. What are the consequences of hysterectomy? Listen to the personal experience of hysterectomy shared by the patient's sister. What impact does hysterectomy have on you? July 7, 2009 is the most unforgettable day in my life, because I became an ambiguous woman! Ever since I discovered a 2-centimeter uterine fibroid during a routine physical examination in 2003, a time bomb has been buried in my heart. Whenever I think of the uterine fibroid, I immediately feel worry, fear, and vague pain. I knew clearly in my heart that pain was waiting for me, it was just a matter of time. After that, I had to go for follow-up twice every year. The growth rate was very slow in the first two years. In February of 2009, it was 6.2 centimeters. In June, it grew to 7 cm. The doctor suggested that if the uterine fibroids grow faster, it is best to have surgical treatment. If you delay it, it may turn into a disease. Following the doctor's advice, I decided to have surgery. I made a reservation at the best Red House Hospital, underwent various tests and examinations before the operation, and obtained all the test results. Knowing that the surgery time was approaching, I became more and more anxious. Whenever I think about surgery, especially when I wake up from a dream, my heart starts to squeak. This time the unavoidable pain made me lose my appetite, feel uneasy and my heart was always hanging in the air. A month later, on Monday, July 6, I received the hospitalization notice. Carrying the things I had prepared long ago, I walked into the hospital clinic with trepidation, applied for hospitalization procedures, selected the hospital ward, and chose the hospital bed. Everything went smoothly and easily. The staff and nurses who came into contact with me were also attentive and considerate. After completing all the formalities, it was already lunch time. I was completely confused and could only wait in the hospital ward and follow the medical staff's instructions. I don’t know what needs to be done before surgery. I want to ask the patient, but the conditions are different, so I’m not sure whether the whole process is the same. Seeing these patients with painful expressions and weak constitutions, I couldn't bear to disturb them. At around 2 p.m., the attending physician called my name to the office, learned about my condition in detail, reviewed all the preoperative test sheets, made records, examined me again, and told me that I would have surgery on Tuesday. Then a staff member came to inform me that I needed to do a B-ultrasound and that I needed to do another B-ultrasound before the operation. After waiting for a long time, it was my turn. The result surprised me. It grew 8.3 cm in just one month. After getting the B-ultrasound report, I gave it to the doctor and we began to discuss the surgical plan. Mine is: one big one, and many small ones under 2 cm. The doctor's general practice is: if there is only one, a minimally invasive surgery can be performed, that is, an opening is made in the abdomen and the uterine fibroids are removed through laparoscopy. This is the best way, less pain and faster recovery. Yes, multiple uterine fibroids can be treated with minimally invasive surgery or detachment surgery. But it cannot be guaranteed to be completely eliminated, and there is a possibility of recurrence later. The onset may vary from person to person. The detachment surgery is to open the uterus and detach the uterine fibroids under the doctor's vision, but there may be small invisible omissions. The operation time for multiple detachments is longer and the blood loss is greater, but the advantage is that the uterus is preserved. |
