Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Peng Xiaodong
It usually takes more than one week to rest after fibroma removal surgery, and the specific recovery time depends on the surgical method. If the fibroma is relatively small and treated with minimally invasive surgery, the wound will be small, and generally more than one week of rest is required. However, if the fibroma is large and treated with open surgery, the wound may be larger, and approximately two weeks of rest are usually needed.
