I'm really worried about some symptoms I've been having. There's swelling in the gland under my jaw at the mandibular angle, and my lymph nodes on the right side of my neck are enlarged. I've been dealing with a discontinuous fever, a headache, and I just can't seem to eat muchIve lost some weight and feel fatigued all the time. I have a history of typhoid, and sometimes I get a sore throat. Theres been a slight decrease in the gland size after some treatment, but Im still concerned. What could this be, and should I be doing anything else?

Considering your wife's fibroid condition, I'll provide a brief overview of the two surgical options: *Myomectomy vs. Hysterectomy* 1. *Myomectomy*: Removes only the fibroids, preserving the uterus. Suitable for women who want to maintain fertility. 2. *Hysterectomy*: Removes the entire uterus, eliminating the risk of future fibroid growth. *Risks Associated with Myomectomy* 1. _Bleeding and hemorrhage_ 2. _Infection_ 3. _Adhesions and scar tissue_ 4. _Fibroid recurrence_ *Recovery Time for Myomectomy* 1. _Hospital stay_: 2-3 days 2. _Recovery time_: 4-6 weeks 3. _Return to normal activities_: 6-8 weeks *Considerations for Your Wife* 1. _Age and fertility desires_: If your wife wants to maintain fertility, myomectomy might be a better option. 2. _Fibroid size and location_: The size and location of the fibroids may impact the complexity of the surgery. 3. _Overall health_: Since your wife's surgical profile is normal, she may be a good candidate for myomectomy.Last updated on 04 Jul 2025
