When it comes to diseases that women worry about, we often cannot avoid gynecological diseases—those that show symptoms through menstrual irregularities, vaginal issues, and reproductive organs. These symptoms often make women embarrassed, reluctant to see a doctor or seek advice from anyone, leaving the condition to worsen. When it comes to treatment, what women worry about the most is surgery, which may leave abdominal scars, causing a loss of confidence in dressing up.
Today, we have a solution to help women eliminate their worries with the technique of “Gynecological Laparoscopic Surgery.”
From “Open Abdominal Surgery” to the Technique of “Gynecological Laparoscopic Surgery”
In the past, the standard surgical method was open abdominal surgery, a treatment method used for a long time. However, the downside of this method is that patients often suffer from large surgical wounds, require a long recovery time, and have a high risk of wound infection. Therefore, the technique of “Gynecological Laparoscopic Surgery” was developed to reduce surgical complications effectively. The wounds are smaller, or in some cases, there may be no wounds at all. With less pain and faster recovery, this has become a very interesting new option.
Laparoscopic Surgery… for In-depth Diagnosis and Treatment
Generally, gynecological laparoscopic surgery is divided into two types: laparoscopy, which involves inserting a camera into the abdominal cavity, especially the pelvic area, for diagnosis and surgery; and hysteroscopy, which involves inserting a camera into the uterine cavity to detect abnormalities and perform surgery without opening the abdominal wall or uterine wall to remove tumors inside the uterine cavity. This technique can also be used to treat other conditions such as uterine fibroids, early-stage cervical cancer, early-stage endometrial cancer, ovarian cysts, and ectopic pregnancy.
Let’s Take a Look… at the Steps of Gynecological Laparoscopic Surgery
During gynecological laparoscopic surgery, the obstetrician-gynecologist will make small incisions about 0.5-1 cm in size through the abdomen or skin near the organ to be operated on, with 1-4 incisions depending on the disease being treated. A tube with a light and a small camera is inserted to record images of the internal organs and send them to a monitor, allowing the doctor to clearly see the area to be operated on. This ensures that the surgery is as precise and accurate as possible.
What Results Are Considered “Better Than Before”
Besides having smaller surgical wounds, the pain afterward is also reduced, so patients do not need to use strong painkillers. Within one day after surgery, patients can return to their daily activities by themselves. The recovery time is also shorter, usually requiring only about 1-3 days in the hospital after surgery. After 1-2 weeks of home recovery, patients can return to work as usual.
Now that you know this, women can surely feel much less worried. Believe me, as long as you dare to open up and talk, every problem has a solution, and we will choose the best option for you.
