After being diagnosed with uterine fibroids, I felt very anxious and came to Shanghai First Maternity and Infant Hospital based on its reputation. The doctor was not only highly skilled, but also developed a very precise surgical plan and was extremely patient, answering all of my concerns in detail. The minimally invasive surgery went smoothly, and recovery after the operation was especially fast. Now, all follow-up test results have returned to normal, and the symptoms of abdominal pain and irregular menstruation have completely disappeared. I am very grateful for the doctor’s attentive care and treatment, which has helped me regain my health!

I was diagnosed with multiple uterine fibroids and came to Shanghai First Maternity and Infant Hospital for treatment after hearing about its reputation. My attending physician not only had excellent clinical skills and developed a minimally invasive surgical plan, but also had a very professional and patient-centered manner, answering my concerns patiently. The surgery went very smoothly, and the doctor’s technique was highly skilled with very small incisions. It has now been over a month since the operation, and follow-up tests show that all indicators have returned to normal. I feel much lighter and healthier than before, and I am very grateful for the doctor’s attentive care!

After trying to conceive for a year without success, I was diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome. The doctor’s diagnosis was very accurate and did not send me down the wrong path. During the consultation, everything was explained in great detail, and my anxiety was gently eased. After several months of ovulation induction and medication management, my menstrual cycle finally returned to a normal pattern. Just last week, I got a positive pregnancy test, and all my hormone levels are now within the normal range. I sincerely thank the doctor for the professional care that helped me become an expectant mother as I had hoped.
