Yes, it is possible. The top priority of Mint Hospital's Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology is 'uterine preservation.' Even in cases of large, multiple uterine fibroids, difficult-to-treat adenomyosis, or endometriosis with severe adhesions, we avoid unconditional hysterectomy and proceed with surgery to fully preserve normal uterine tissue and fertility.

No. If the size is less than 3cm and there are no noticeable symptoms, only regular follow-up monitoring at 6-month or 1-year intervals is performed. Treatment is initiated if there are noticeable symptoms such as excessive bleeding, anemia, or infertility, or if the size is growing rapidly. In accordance with the principle of prioritizing alternative treatments to hysterectomy, Mint Hospital first suggests the most conservative method among the uterus-preserving treatment options.

Asymptomatic uterine fibroids smaller than 3 cm are monitored, while multiple fibroids (three or more) can be treated with embolization, hysteroscopy (submucosal), laparoscopy, or robotic surgery. For uterine fibroids 8 cm or larger, single-port laparoscopy or Da Vinci robotic surgery is recommended, and for fibroids 10 cm or larger, treatment involving Da Vinci robotic surgery or embolization to reduce size and alleviate symptoms is advised. However, this is not applied uniformly but varies depending on the location (submucosal, intramural, or subserosal) and pregnancy plans; a hybrid treatment is also available, in which large fibroids are first reduced via embolization and then safely removed laparoscopically.

Hybrid therapy is a specialized treatment offered by Mint Hospital that combines two or more treatment methods for cases where a single treatment is insufficient. It is not applied in all situations; rather, it is utilized in patients with large uterine fibroids who do not wish to undergo a hystectomy, or those at high risk of bleeding. The approach involves minimizing the size of the lesion using non-surgical methods such as embolization, followed by the complete removal of the fibroid through a relatively less risky surgical procedure. This is performed under Mint Hospital's system, which enables real-time multidisciplinary care.

A perfect surgery begins with an accurate diagnosis. Mint Hospital actively utilizes pelvic MRI to accurately identify minute lesions, precise locations, and the degree of adhesion to surrounding organs that are easily missed by ultrasound alone. In particular, accuracy is high as radiologists directly participate in image interpretation; furthermore, MRI is more precise than ultrasound in differentiating between benign and malignant tumors, enabling the establishment of a safe treatment plan.

You can rest assured. At Mint Hospital, all surgical anesthesia is handled exclusively by board-certified anesthesiologists stationed at the hospital at all times, rather than external freelance medical staff. We take full responsibility for the safe management of your anesthesia, from checking your condition before surgery to real-time vital sign monitoring during the operation and care in the recovery room.

This is because, unlike uterine fibroids which take the form of lumps, the boundaries of the lesion are indistinct or there is severe 'adhesion' where it clings to surrounding organs (intestines, bladder, etc.). For this reason, Da Vinci robotic surgery is recommended for high-difficulty cases. It is highly effective as it utilizes freely rotating robotic arms to precisely dissect only the lesion without damaging delicate nerves or organs, even within the narrow pelvic cavity.

Mint Hospital does not adhere to a single treatment method. By comprehensively listening to the patient's age, symptoms, and future pregnancy plans, we propose a 'patient-tailored treatment solution' by carefully comparing whether robotic surgery is suitable, if laparoscopic surgery alone is sufficient, or if non-surgical treatments such as uterine fibroid embolization are preferable. Furthermore, rather than a single medical team handling all treatments, specialists are stationed for each treatment, ensuring smooth collaboration.

Endometrial polyps are benign, fluid-filled sac-like tumors caused by the localized excessive proliferation of the endometrium. While one or two polyps are common, large polyps or multiple polyps of three or more may occur. Since endometrial polyps act as a fundamental cause of infertility, their active removal is recommended if you are planning a pregnancy. Hysteroscopic polypectomy is a non-invasive surgery that selectively removes only the lesions within the uterine cavity, allowing for same-day procedure and discharge.

Cervical cancer is a malignant tumor that develops in the cervix due to infection with the human papillomavirus (HPV). Since cancer treatment requires not only surgery but also coordinated therapies such as chemotherapy, Mint Hospital does not perform surgery; however, if cervical dysplasia, a precancerous stage, is confirmed through Pap smears and HPV testing, cone biopsy is available.

Severe menstrual cramps or excessive bleeding do not necessarily require surgery. In particular, unmarried women in their 20s and 30s often prioritize conservative treatments, such as medication or hormone therapy, while monitoring their progress. Mint Hospital first listens to the patient's age, lifestyle, and future pregnancy plans. Based on a thorough diagnosis, we propose customized solutions, such as minimally invasive robotic surgery or embolization, only when surgery is absolutely necessary, thereby alleviating the psychological and physical burden on our patients.

The 'best approach' varies from patient to patient. After an accurate diagnosis based on precise examinations, we determine the most suitable treatment method by considering the patient's condition, lifestyle, and pregnancy plans. Mint Hospital performs all uterine fibroid treatments in-house; unlike hospitals that offer only a single method, we prioritize the most conservative approach for each patient.

The medical staff at Mint Hospital’s Women’s Medical Center holds subspecialties in gynecological oncology and has accumulated extensive clinical experience at Asan Medical Center, Samsung Seoul Hospital, and Kangdong Kyung Hee University Hospital. For over 20 years, they have specialized exclusively in the treatment of uterine and ovarian diseases, and non-surgical procedures such as embolization are performed by interventional radiologists. The center operates a close multidisciplinary collaborative system between the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology and the Department of Radiology.

Mint Hospital is a specialized hospital for uterine and ovarian diseases located in Munjeong-dong, Songpa-gu, Seoul. It is a medical institution dedicated to women's health equipped with a multidisciplinary collaborative system involving Obstetrics and Gynecology and Radiology. While many patients from the Gangnam, Gangdong, Jamsil, Wirye, and Hanam areas visit the hospital, its proximity to KTX and SRT Suseo Station also attracts many patients from other regions.

All nurses at Mint Hospital's inpatient wards provide dedicated care for inpatients. Since 2024, the hospital has maintained Grade A, the highest rating under the differential nursing grade system, which ensures one patient per nurse. The hospital offers a variety of inpatient rooms, including single, double, and multi-bed rooms, and features lounges equipped with water purifiers and microwaves. An outdoor walking path, a convenience store, and a pharmacy are located on the first floor of the building, while a café is situated on the fourth floor.
