MUMBAI: Doctors at civic-run V N Desai Hospital in Santacruz recently removed a football-sized mass of multiple uterine fibroids, weighing about 5kg, from a 42-year-old woman.
The patient had abdominal pain, bloating and heaviness for the last six months and sought help only when she was unable to do her daily work. Uterine fibroids are noncancerous growths of the uterus that often appear during childbearing years.
