I was diagnosed with uterine fibroids and was heavily bleeding for two years. I kept on postponing visits to see an OB-Gyne.  I was afraid of undergoing the knife until pain and sever bleeding became unbearable. I was rushed to the hospital last May 29, with a life-threatening blood count of only 5.8. Normal values are between 11.2-15.7.

From the emergency room, I was ordered for confinement and blood transfusion. The uterine fibroids have increased in size.  The goal was to get my hemoglobin to normal levels before surgery.  But after 4 bags of blood transfusion, it was still below normal. Dr. Rebecca Singson explained that it was too risky to undergo open surgery since my hemoglobin was at a life threatening level. My immune system was already compromised. She further explained that Robotic Surgery Philippines would be less invasive therefore there would be less blood loss and faster recovery. This made me decide to undergo hysterectomy by robotic surgery which was more appropriate to my condition.

Robotic Surgery Philippines Saved My life

Robotic Surgery Philippines took place 6/01 and I was able to sit and walk around the next day. I was released from the hospital 6/04 and was able to drive a week after surgery. I am very thankful I underwent robotic surgery and to be in the good hands of a caring doctor like Dr. Rebecca Singson, otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to do normal activities that quick had I opted for open surgery. This procedure actually saved my life.
