Angel Patel is a 32-year-old marketing...
Angel Patel is a 32-year-old marketing manager who has been trying to conceive with her husband for three years. She was diagnosed with multiple large fibroids during her fertility workup. Angel experienced heavy, painful periods that left her anemic and fatigued, but her primary distress was the unexplained infertility. Her OB-GYN, Dr. Sharma, recommended an abdominal myomectomy to remove the fibroids, explaining it would improve her symptoms and significantly increase her chances of a successful pregnancy. The surgery was successful, removing four large fibroids while carefully preserving her uterus. Her recovery took about six weeks; the first two were challenging with pain and fatigue, but she gradually regained her strength. Emotionally, Angel felt a mix of hope and anxiety before the surgery, fearing it might not work. After recovery, the relief from her debilitating periods was immense, but the true emotional shift came nine months later when she saw a positive pregnancy test. She felt a profound sense of possibility restored.
