Giuliana Rengifo Recovers After Complicated Hysterectomy for Large Uterine Fibroids

Preserving her ovaries in the operation, Rengifo urges women to get annual gynecological check-ups.

Overview

  • Rengifo told media on May 24 that she is almost three weeks into recovery after a complicated hysterectomy to remove two large uterine fibroids she said measured about 10 cm and 16 cm.
  • Surgeons removed her uterus and fallopian tubes while preserving her ovaries, a procedure that ends her ability to carry pregnancies but may maintain some hormonal function.
  • The singer named Dr. Montesino and praised nursing staff for her care, saying the doctor called the operation complicated and describing herself as “a miracle” for the outcome.
  • She said her partner reconciled with her on May 3, has been caring for her during recovery, and the couple are discussing a possible wedding in Piura this year.
  • Rengifo used the post-operation messages to urge annual gynecological check-ups, said she plans to return to artistic work soon, and raised adoption as a possible family option going forward.
