Two patients in Hafr Al-Batin have successfully undergone surgery for the removal of uterine fibroids.
A medical team from the Maternity Hospital in Hafr Al-Batin removed fibroids from the patients aged 34 and 40, media spokesman of Health Affairs in Hafr Al-Batin Abdulaziz Al-Inizi said.
The first patient, aged 34, was suffering from chronic pain in the abdomen and pelvis and experienced continuous uterine bleeding for two years. Medical, lab tests and X-ray showed that the patient had four uterine fibroids.
Accordingly, the patient was immediately subjected to urgent surgery where the fibroids were successfully removed while keeping the patient’s uterus intact.
The second patient underwent a similar operation. She too, was suffering from acute pain in the abdomen. An ultra-sound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a number of uterine fibroids which necessitated their removal. The uterus was left intact in this case too.
