Pregnant with 9 uterine fibroids, the mother gave birth successfully
The Obstetrics Department team, Nghe An Obstetrics and Pediatrics Hospital has just successfully performed a cesarean section combined with removing 9 tumors, preserving the uterus for the mother, ensuring safety for both mother and baby.
Pregnant woman Tr. T. H (43 years old, residing in Dien Chau) was admitted to the hospital on May 12 with abdominal pain and signs of labor at 39 weeks and 4 days of pregnancy. This is Ms. H's third birth. With a history of a stillbirth and advanced age, Ms. H's pregnancy was determined to have many risk factors... Previously, during a routine pregnancy check-up at a lower level, the pregnant woman was counseled and transferred toNghe An Obstetrics and Pediatrics Hospitalto monitor and give birth at a specialized medical facility.
Through clinical and paraclinical examination, the doctors of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology determined that this was a complicated case:Maternityhaving multiple uterine fibroids, the fetus is smaller than the gestational age, high risk of labor disorders and postpartum hemorrhage... After specialist consultation, the team decided to perform cesarean section combined with fibroid removal, to ensure the health of both mother and child, while preserving the uterus for the mother.
On May 13, the mother was taken to the operating room. With great concentration and extensive experience, obstetricians, anesthesiologists, nurses and technicians welcomed a healthy 2,800 gram baby boy into the world, bringing great joy to the family and the medical team.
Immediately after ensuring the safety of the baby, the team quickly moved on to phase two – removing the uterine fibroids. A total of 9 fibroids of different sizes, of which the largest one measuring 6x7 cm, were successfully removed. Notably, the mother’s uterus was preserved intact – an important factor in both physical and mental health for women. Currently, the mother’s health has stabilized, with vital signs within normal limits. The baby boy has a rosy complexion, suckles well and has quick reflexes, indicating healthy development.
The rate of pregnant women with uterine fibroids ranges from 1.6% to 2.7%. This condition can cause many dangerous complications during pregnancy and childbirth such as premature birth, abnormal fetal position, uterine contraction disorders leading to prolonged labor, and even postpartum hemorrhage. Surgery to remove uterine fibroids at the same time requires careful consideration and should only be performed at specialized medical facilities, fully equipped with modern equipment and a team of experienced doctors and nurses to ensure maximum safety for both mother and baby.
