You need to choose between surgery or a procedure for uterine fibroids.

I had no idea, but a few years ago, during a health checkup, I found out I had a uterine fibroid.

Uterine fibroids do not have an immediate effect, but if left untreated, they can continue to grow and eventually lead to more serious health issues.

Since I was told I could improve, I have already had it removed twice through procedures.

However, the problem with conditions like uterine fibroids is that they do not resolve after a single treatment and tend to recur, so the future course of treatment needs to be considered.

I'm 고민하고 있어요

Gynecological conditions seem to be quite difficult in many ways.

The examination methods are difficult, and the appropriate treatment methods are also challenging.

First of all, going to the gynecology department and having an ultrasound is an uncomfortable and difficult task.

I first discovered that I have a uterine fibroid during a health checkup.

That place is only for examinations, so I was told I need to go back to the gynecology department for tests and then have it removed.

So, I visited a nearby obstetrics and gynecology clinic, had a check-up, and was diagnosed that it needs to be removed.

They fasted on the day, underwent anesthesia, and the removal was successfully done, but they said there is a high risk of uterine fibroid recurrence, and they couldn't find the cause.

You need to understand the cause to achieve a fundamental solution, but it's just repetitive treatment of discovering and removing it.

About two years passed, and again a uterine fibroid was discovered, so I underwent a second removal.

You have no choice but to repeat this process, or else they tell you to go to a large hospital and be hospitalized to undergo surgery instead of a procedure.

Then it will get better.

And they told me to insert Mirena to prevent recurrence, but the side effects of Mirena are also quite severe.

So, should I just choose the method of removing the fibroids whenever they are discovered and keep repeating the same treatment?

I'm really struggling and 고민이 되네요 whether I should undergo surgery for a fundamental solution and get a Mirena procedure.

Uterine fibroids, a women's condition that is as common and persistent as a cold, are very difficult and troubling.

Still, I trust and continue to go because the doctor at the hospital I used to visit explains things kindly and well.

She is a female director and is very kind, and she considers the patient's perspective and thinks along with them.

Should I say that I feel like you are providing medical care with the mindset of treating my family?

So, feel free to ask anything you're curious about, and please always treat me sincerely.

I plan to discuss future treatment options for uterine fibroids with my doctor.
