[EBS입트영 5/30] Uterine Fibroid Surgery / 자궁 근종 수술

30 Thu. 

Uterine Fibroid Surgery / 자궁 근종 수술

 

Earlier this month, I underwent surgery for uterine fibroids.

I first discovered uterin fibroids during a national health examination in my late twenties.

After experiencing an early miscarriage with my first pregnancy last year, I was advised to undergo uterin fibroid removal surgery. 

I took two weeks off from work.

The surgery went without a hitch, and I'll be getting back to the office tomorrow. 

 

Uterine fibroids are benign tumors that develop in the muscles of the uterus. 

They're the most common tumors found in women. 

It is estimated that around 20% of women worldwide over the age of 35 have them.

 

The exact cause is not fully understood, and they don't always present specific symptoms.

However, there may be associated risks of infertility and increased miscarriage rates.

Among various treatments options, surgical removal of  the lesion is considered the most fundamental treatment method.
