Do you need lab tests after fibroid removal?

Laboratory tests in this context refer to pathology tests. Generally speaking, uterine fibroids need to be sent for pathologic examination after removal, and still need to be reviewed regularly after surgery. Although most fibroids are benign, the possibility of malignant changes, such as uterine sarcoma, cannot be ruled out, so routine pathology examination is usually required after fibroid surgery. Meanwhile, the standard of postoperative review of uterine fibroids is also different, which needs to be judged according to the patient’s late recovery, generally speaking, including gynecological ultrasound, tumor marker examination, blood routine and other examinations. 1. Ultrasound examination: Generally speaking, for patients after uterine fibroid surgery, they can look at the recovery of the incision and the condition of the pelvis through ultrasound. 2. Blood routine: after uterine fibroid surgery, women may have bacterial infection, so they need to review the blood routine to see if there is any inflammatory index; if the uterine fibroid has the possibility of malignant transformation, after the patient has undergone radiotherapy, they also need to assess whether there is any complication through blood routine. After uterine fibroid surgery, it is recommended to follow the doctor’s instructions for follow-up examinations and treatment.
