Fibroids are benign growths that develop in or on the uterus and vary in size and number. The MRI Scans revealed that the patient had seven fibroids. However, during surgery, the team discovered an unexpected complication. The fibroids began appearing in large numbers like as we operated, explained Dr. Prabha Agrawal, Gynaecologist, Care Hospitals, Hitec City.
Fibroids are the most common cause of heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, and, in some cases, infertility. Fertility-preserving surgeries like myomectomy are critical for women who wish to conceive in the future, and their success requires advanced medical expertise and state-of-the-art facilities, Dr Prabha added.
The recovered patient from Canada expressed gratitude to the hospital care givers for the successful surgery.
