Successful Removal of 16 Uterine Fibroids at Al-Mouwasat Hospital in Al-Qatif
The medical team at Al-Mouwasat Hospital in Al-Qatif successfully removed 16 uterine fibroids from a woman in her thirties.
The patient had visited the gynecology and obstetrics clinic, suffering from irregular uterine bleeding that had persisted for over five years, leading to a severe drop in her hemoglobin levels and severe anemia symptoms. This necessitated repeated blood transfusions. After extensive consultations at multiple hospitals, it was revealed that she had uterine fibroids filling the uterine cavity. The medical decision at that time was to perform a hysterectomy.
The case was immediately examined and studied by the medical team under the supervision of Dr. Sherif Hendawy, a consultant in obstetrics and gynecology at Al-Mouwasat Hospital in Al-Qatif. Ultrasound and MRI were performed to clarify the situation, and the scans revealed a large number of uterine fibroids. After a comprehensive evaluation, the medical decision was to remove these uterine fibroids while preserving the uterus to maintain the patient's fertility.
Thankfully, the surgery was successful, and all 16 uterine fibroids were removed, restoring the uterus to its natural form. This will allow the patient to conceive and have regular, normal menstrual cycles. The patient did not require a blood transfusion and was discharged after two days in good health.
It's worth mentioning that this type of procedure relies on modern medical technology and highly trained medical staff. This approach aligns with Al-Mouwasat Medical Services Company's vision of attracting specialized expertise through the use of advanced medical techniques and equipment in this field.
