Ananya Khan, a 29-year-old marketing manager,...
Ananya Khan, a 29-year-old marketing manager, had endured severely painful periods since her teens, recently accompanied by bloating and pain during intercourse. She feared something was seriously wrong. A diagnostic laparoscopy for endometriosis unexpectedly found multiple medium-sized fibroids on the outer wall of her uterus. Her surgeon, Dr. Rodriguez, recommended a robotic-assisted myomectomy to precisely remove the fibroids through tiny incisions, minimizing scarring and recovery time. Ananya felt a mix of relief at having an answer and anxiety about the unexpected surgery. The robotic procedure was minimally invasive, and she was home the next day. After a two-week recovery, her chronic pain was gone. Emotionally, she transitioned from feeling betrayed by her body to feeling resilient and proactive about her health, regaining a sense of control over her life and future family planning.
