? ? ? ? ? Vaginal Hysterectomy is a surgical technique to remove the uterus through the vagina, or a scarless hysterectomy. It is an innovative gynecological treatment recognized by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. The procedure must be performed under the care of a specialist in a sterile, certified operating room. This surgical technique promotes gynecological treatment with no external body scars, faster recovery, reduced infection risk, and no impact on reproductive organs or sex hormones.

The unwanted mass:
? ? ? ? ??Ms. Sasthorn Na Songkhla received treatment from Dr. Kitti Tujinda, a specialist in gynecological laparoscopic surgery. After Ms. Sasthorn discovered two large unwanted masses in her uterus, with very large fibroids, she did not want abdominal surgery. She sought alternative treatments and found that Dr. Kitti could perform fibroid removal through the vagina.
?? ? ? ???My symptoms were frequent urination, a large abdomen, and heavy menstruation at times, but I thought these were normal. One day, I had abdominal pain and was about to travel abroad, so I was worried about potential problems. I saw a gastroenterologist because I usually have a lot of stomach gas. However, after examination, the doctor suspected a uterine problem. An ultrasound revealed two fibroids measuring 10 cm each and another 4.5 cm. The doctor recommended surgery to remove the fibroids because it was uncertain if they would grow larger, which could press on the bladder.

The abdominal scars I don’t want:
? ? ? ? ??Because I am very active at work, abdominal surgery would require a long recovery and be very costly. I researched alternatives to abdominal surgery and found laparoscopic surgery, which involves 3-4 small incisions. However, when I consulted a specialist, the doctor could not guarantee success because the fibroids were very large. If laparoscopic surgery failed, abdominal surgery would still be necessary. I then searched again and found that Dr. Kitti Tujinda offers a scarless surgery by removing the uterus through the vagina. So, I came to see him at Phyathai 2 Hospital.
? ? ? ? ??Dr. Kitti Tujinda said, “The fibroids are very large, which makes it difficult to remove all masses through the vagina. If that is not possible, the next option is laparoscopic surgery. Abdominal surgery is the last resort because the patient does not want abdominal scars. Please trust my expertise to minimize pain and avoid other methods unless absolutely necessary.” His words gave me confidence and eased my worries.
My new life I want:
? ? ? ? ??On the day of surgery, everything went well. The doctor successfully removed all fibroids through the vagina. When I woke up, I felt normal, as if nothing had happened, just slight abdominal soreness. I stayed in the hospital for only 3 days before going home. I could live normally, just needing to take medication and avoid heavy lifting. During my hospital stay, I received excellent care and comfort from the doctors, nurses, housekeeping, and security staff who helped with parking. I would recommend Dr. Kitti to anyone with the same problem because this is the best treatment method. Also, the price here is reasonable compared to others.
? ? ? ? ??Dr. Kitti Tujinda, a specialist in gynecological laparoscopic surgery, shared the treatment approach for Ms. Sasthorn: “The challenges for this patient were twofold: the uterus was very large, comparable to a 5-month pregnancy, and the patient had never given birth before. This made the surgery challenging to succeed. The surgery went according to plan, although difficult, taking about 3 hours. It was successful with about 300 cc blood loss. After surgery, the patient had no wound pain and did not request pain medication. Everything was very satisfactory.”
