Udupi Doctors Remove 8‑kg Uterine Fibroid from Patient's Uterus

In a recent surgical achievement, doctors at a Udupi hospital successfully excised an 8‑kilogram uterine fibroid from a patient’s uterus, a procedure that significantly reduced the patient’s pain and pressure symptoms.

Uterine fibroids, noncancerous growths of the uterine muscle, are a common cause of heavy bleeding, pelvic discomfort, and pressure on surrounding organs. The removal of such a large fibroid often requires careful surgical planning, and the use of minimally invasive techniques has become increasingly favoured for its reduced recovery time and lower risk of complications.

The operation not only restored the patient’s quality of life but also showcases the growing expertise in gynecological procedures within the district, giving hope to other women suffering from similar conditions.
