Hello Dr. Patel,
Thank you SO much for taking the time to respond to my question. My
fibroid was 10 cm and was removed laparoscopically via davinci robot. I
also know that my doctor removed it anteriorly.
If the fluid is blood from the myomectomy, why is it coming out as a
clear fluid?
Thanks for any other info you can provide!
