Although uterine fibroids are mostly benign, they must be frequently checked. Tumor growth can result in consequences like bleeding. Compression may result from a tumor that is too large, which will have an impact on the women’s health and quality of life.
In the instance of patient K.H.N, Mrs. K.H.N went to the doctor after noticing that her abdomen was expanding quickly, felt heavier than usual, and had a little menstruation irregularity. As a result, she learned that she had the sickness. Ms. N visited several hospitals to get an accurate assessment of her health. It was found that she had uterine fibroids, with tumors up to 10 cm in size, and needed surgery. Medical professionals advise removing both the uterus and the tumor. She wanted to keep the uterus, which made her very perplexed.
After consulting information about many different hospitals, Ms. N decided to go to Vinmec Central Park International General Hospital. Having lived abroad for a long time and experienced many high-quality medical services, for domestic medical services, Mrs. N and her family also have many concerns. She spoke with the Vinmec Central Park Hospital's medical staff about her concerns and got their expert opinions. In order to preserve her uterus, the doctor opted to entirely remove the tumor. She fully trusted the ability of the medical staff and the state-of-the-art equipment system at Vinmec Central Park hospital, which is comparable to that found in industrialized nations, after being greeted and touring the facilities.
Mrs. N's family was overjoyed and made sure to thank the medical staff who had cared for her from the moment she was admitted to the hospital until the procedure was finished. The family is astounded by the quick expansion of the Vietnamese healthcare sector and is relieved to know that there are hospitals in Vietnam that meet international standards, like Vinmec Central Park International General Hospital, to provide patients with the best possible care.
