New Delhi: A 30-year-old lady with two uteruses underwent surgery at a private institution lately, a rare disease that caused her severe discomfort, particularly during her menstrual cycle.
Only 60 occurrences of this illness have been reported worldwide until February of this year. The case study has been accepted for publication in the journal of Minimal Access Surgeries, according to Dr. Amit Jawed, director, general and laparoscopic surgery, Fortis Hospital in Vasant Kunj.“There is not much awareness about this problem. The pain due to this condition worsens during menstruation. Menstruation pain is considered a normal phenomenon. Ladies usually ignore it and also consider the pain as a sign of them having stones,” the doctor said.
Talking about the woman, he said the patient had been having severe pain in the lower abdomen for the last one year and it would get worsen during the time of her menstrual cycle. Doctors would advise her painkillers and she used to get transient relief.
“However, a doctor ordered an ultrasound which showed that she could have gallbladder stones and also showed a small fibroid in the uterus. She was then referred to us for gallbladder removal surgery” Dr Javed said.
“But gallbladder stones usually lead to pain in the right side of the upper abdomen. So we ordered an MRI which suggested that she had ACUM,” he said.
ACUM, which translates to accessory and cavitated uterine masses, in lay terms means a baby uterus inside the normal uterus. There is a hollow mass inside the uterus which had blood and degraded blood.
Dr Javed said,”we had to to be quite careful while doing the surgery so as not to affect her tubes,”
She was trying to convince earlier but could not because of this issue. And now she is recovered well and has no pain.
