19 March 2024- In a remarkable surgical achievement, doctors at Saudi German Hospital Makkah
successfully removed 15 uterine fibroids from a Nigerian woman in her 40s who had endured 10 recurrent

miscarriages and premature births.
Disheartened by ineffective treatments in her home country, the patient tuned to Saudi German Hospital

Makkah for hope.
Thorough medical examinations provided doctors with a clear understanding of her condition. With the

patient’s consent, they swiftly proceeded with the tumor removal.
Uterine fibroids are prevalent in Africa, primarily affecting women during their fertility years. Symptoms
include heavy menstrual bleeding, urinary urgency, frequent urination, constipation, and an increased risk

of miscarriage and premature birth.
With state-of-the-art facilities and a dedicated team of highly qualified medical professionals available

24/7, Saudi German Hospital Makkah delivers unparalleled care for even the most challenging conditions,
guided by their ethos of "Caring Like Family".
