Patient Information: Uterine leiomyomas are the most common pelvic tumors in women. The patient is 26 year old virgin woman, who had come to Sarem Hospital due to severe bleeding. In the studies, cervical fibrosis was detected in the uterus, which was associated with anemia and severe bleeding, and the removal of fibroma was necessary. Cervical fibrosis is surgically removed through the vaginal canal, but the patient, due to virginity, was reluctant to undergo surgery through the vaginal canal. Therefore, the decision was made to perform this surgery through abdominal myomectomy. The patient was discharged from the hospital 2 days after surgery with a good general condition and satisfaction with the health of the virginity.
Conclusion: In Islamic countries such as Iran, considering the culture of the general public, the virginity is very important. In this particular case, due to the request of his virginity and its importance for the family, surgery through abdominal myomectomy was recommended. Although the surgical procedure is followed by scarring of abdominal surgery and postoperative pain, but the result is the same as the result of the surgery through the vaginal canal.
