A 32-year-old unmarried female patient from Kalsi presented in our OPD with complaints of gradual swelling in abdomen since last one year and menstrual irregularities since last one and half a month. Also, she had additional complaints of severe weakness and fatigue. She was detected as severe anaemic with the haemoglobin level as 2.6 gm% and her USG finding revealed large sized uterine fibroid. Removal of the uterine growth by surgery seemed to be the best possible treatment for this patient.
Hailing from a very poor socioeconomic background she was unable to afford treatment at any other private facility. She was admitted and 6 units of blood, arranged by our hospital was transfused as to raise her haemoglobin sufficient enough to undergo any surgical procedure.
After undergoing the routine pre-operative investigation including haemoglobin and COVID 19 test and found to be fit, she was operated by the team of Dr. Narendra and Dr. Vaibhav with anaesthesia by Dr. C. B. Verma. The entire procedure took more than two hours and the uterine fibroid weighing 5.5 kg was successfully removed from her abdomen. The patient was doing well post operatively and yet again a precious life was saved. The entire treatment including surgery was done at minimal cost.
