At first, I just thought my period was a bit heavy, but recently my anemia has worsened and my stomach has felt heavy, so I got another checkup.
They told me my uterine fibroids have grown much larger than I thought.
They said the biggest one is nearly 7cm.
They advised me to consider robotic surgery, so I went to a few hospitals for consultations.
However, the advice I received varied slightly each time, which is really confusing.
Some places mentioned laparoscopy, while others recommended robotic surgery for uterine fibroids.
Honestly, this is my first surgery, so I don't know what criteria to use when making a choice.
Since I am still single, I am most worried about uterine preservation and the possibility of future pregnancy.
People around me say that since it is a one-time surgery, I should do my research properly, but reading reviews just makes me more scared.
For those of you who have had robotic surgery for uterine fibroids, I am curious to know what criteria you used to choose your hospital.

I initially thought about laparoscopic surgery and went for a consultation, but due to the location of my fibroid, I was recommended robotic surgery ㅠ I had mine done by Dr. Choi Dong-seok at Choi Obstetrics and Gynecology, and I really liked how he explained things in a realistic and easy-to-understand way. Choi Obstetrics and Gynecology is a hospital with both a surgery center and an infertility center, and since Dr. Choi Dong-seok handles surgeries, non-surgical treatments, and infertility treatments, I felt reassured as someone who is unmarried ㅎㅎ Because it was robotic surgery, my recovery was faster than I expected!
I also looked into it, but robot surgery was too expensive and the surgical site was large, so I opted for a procedure instead of surgery. I had embolization at Raon Clinic in Gangnam, and it was done under local anesthesia without any incisions, so the wound was small and recovery was fast.
Both laparoscopic and robotic surgeries are possible, but since you are unmarried and need to consider pregnancy, I recommend looking further into robotic surgery, which can minimize uterine damage. I also recently had robotic surgery with Director Lee Hong-joong at Yonsei Sarangmoa Hospital, and the recovery was definitely faster. With robotic surgery, the prognosis can vary depending on the surgeon's skill, so it's best to find a doctor with extensive experience. I chose my hospital by focusing on three things: coordinating the surgery schedule, availability of a private room, and whether it was a place with a lot of surgical experience. Do your research well before you go~
