Uterine Fibroids Didn’t Define Her at 50
Patient Background
Ms. Kusum, a 50-year-old woman, had been struggling for years with chronic hypertension and severe gynecological discomfort. Her daily life was significantly impacted by persistent lower abdominal pain and heavy menstrual bleeding, leading to fatigue and reduced quality of life. She also had a complex medical history, including a previous LSCS (Lower Segment Cesarean Section) and a history of spontaneous abortion, making her case more challenging.
Clinical Evaluation & Diagnosis
Upon her visit to Sapling IVF, a thorough clinical assessment was conducted. Her blood pressure was recorded at 150/100 mmHg, indicating uncontrolled hypertension.
A detailed ultrasound (USG) examination confirmed the presence of uterine fibroids, which were identified as the primary cause of her symptoms. Given her medical history and current condition, a carefully planned treatment strategy was essential.
Treatment Approach
After multidisciplinary evaluation, our specialists recommended a Laparoscopically Assisted Vaginal Hysterectomy (LAVH) a minimally invasive surgical procedure designed to ensure faster recovery and reduced complications.
The surgery was performed under strict aseptic conditions with a focus on patient safety, precision, and complete hemostasis.
Outcome & Recovery
The procedure was successfully completed without complications. Ms. Kusum’s recovery was smooth and encouraging:
- Stable vital parameters within hours post-surgery
- Early initiation of oral intake
- Normal return of bowel function
- Minimal post-operative discomfort
She was discharged with a structured recovery plan, including medications, wound care guidance, and scheduled follow-ups.
Patient Impact
Following treatment, Ms. Kusum experienced complete relief from her symptoms. She returned to her daily routine with renewed energy, improved health, and a significantly enhanced quality of life.
This case highlights the effectiveness of minimally invasive gynecological surgery in managing complex conditions like uterine fibroids.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What are the common symptoms of uterine fibroids in women over 40?
Uterine fibroids often present with symptoms such as heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding, persistent pelvic pain, lower abdominal pressure, frequent urination, and fatigue due to blood loss. In women over 40, these symptoms can become more pronounced and may significantly impact daily life, making timely diagnosis and treatment essential.
Is surgery always required for uterine fibroids?
Not always. The need for surgery depends on the size, number, and symptoms caused by the fibroids. Mild cases can often be managed with medication and monitoring. However, in cases where fibroids cause severe pain, heavy bleeding, or affect quality of life—as seen in this case—minimally invasive surgery like laparoscopic hysterectomy may be recommended for effective and long-term relief.
What is laparoscopic hysterectomy and is it safe?
Laparoscopic hysterectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to remove the uterus through small incisions using advanced instruments. It is considered safe and effective when performed by experienced specialists. Compared to traditional surgery, it offers benefits such as less pain, minimal scarring, reduced risk of complications, and faster recovery.
How long does recovery take after fibroid surgery?
Of course, you can! We support making a strong bond with your loved ones even if you are staying away from them. Any
Recovery time varies depending on the type of procedure and individual health.

Can uterine fibroids affect overall health if left untreated?

In some cases, they may also impact reproductive health. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment help prevent complications and improve overall well-being.
