Satun, Thailand – A woman in satun province โคunderwent a complex, six-hour โคsurgery on July 31, 2025, to remove an eight-kilogram cyst from her abdomen, initially โคmistaken for weight gain. The successful operation, led by Dr. Thamon Niamrat and a team from Satun Hospital, dramatically improved โthe patient’s condition, reducing her weight from โฃ86 kg to 75 kg and alleviating long-term discomfort.
The case highlights the increasing prevalence of โuterine tumors and ovarian cysts, conditions that can frequentlyโฃ enough be misdiagnosed or underestimated. While the patient’s identity has not been publicly released, her mother shared the family’s relief and surprise at the true โcause of her daughter’s distended โabdomen. Results from network samples taken during theโฃ surgery โฃare expected on August 19, โข2025, and will be released via the Satun Hospital Facebook account.
For a prolonged period,โ the patient’s family believed her swollen stomach was simply dueโค to overeating. “His stomach has been swollen for a long โtime, but weโข thought it was because โhe ate โคtoo much.โ We never โฃimaginedโ the problem asโค seriously as this,” theโค mother explained. The cyst, โฃweighing approximately the same as a full-term pregnancy, required a lengthy andโฃ intricate surgical procedure.
“He (Ratchanaporn) was operated onโค during the day and only came out โคaround 18:00. The time was very long and made me stressed,” the mother added, describing the anxiety โexperienced during the operation.
the Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinic Dr. Thamon Satun โshared the case on Facebook,โ garnering praise for the hospital’s expertise and patient โcare. Theโค hospitalโ confirmed this case is one of many similar instancesโ they have successfully treated, emphasizing the importance of seeking medical attention for persistentโ abdominalโ swelling or discomfort.
