Battling Infertility: How a 36-Year-Old Woman’s Complex Case was Finally Solved by a Skilled Surgeon

Ms. Thanh, a 36-year-old woman, had been struggling with infertility for over a decade. She had undergone multiple surgeries in the past to address her gynecological issues like ovarian abscess, adnexitis, uterine fibroids, and endometriosis without success.

After seeking infertility examination at Tam Anh General Hospital in Hanoi, it was discovered on June 29 that Ms. Thanh had an infected abscess weighing over 6 kg, equivalent to a 9-month pregnancy. The large abscess had caused significant compression of surrounding organs, leading to urinary disorders and abdominal pain.

Due to the complexity of Ms. Thanh’s case, surgery was deemed necessary to remove the entire tumor and necrotic tissues, including the uterus, ovaries, and sigmoid colon. The surgical team led by Associate Professor Duong successfully conducted the operation while preserving non-necrotic organs for a smooth recovery post-surgery.

Associate Professor Duong highlighted the challenges faced during the surgery due to the tumor’s size and its impact on surrounding tissues. Prompt treatment was essential to avoid further complications for Ms. Thanh who ultimately recovered well and was discharged from the hospital after two weeks.

Ms. Thanh’s successful case underscores the importance of swift action when facing complex medical conditions like hers. It is recommended by Associate Professor Duong that individuals experiencing symptoms of similar diseases seek medical attention early for timely diagnosis and treatment.
