Can women with mild uterine fibroids be cured?

Uterine fibroids are a common gynecological disease among women, which have a great impact on women's physical health. If not treated in time, it is particularly easy to cause women to experience uterine bleeding, abdominal pain, irregular menstruation, etc. In severe cases, it may even affect women's fertility. So when it comes to uterine fibroids, the most worrying issue for many people is whether they can be completely cured without removing the uterus. Let's take a look at whether women with mild uterine fibroids can recover.

Can women with mild uterine fibroids be cured?

1. Regular follow-up: For patients with small fibroids, no symptoms, no complications, no degeneration, and no impact on health; perimenopausal patients without clinical symptoms, only regular follow-up observation (once every 3 to 6 months) is required, and the treatment will be decided based on the review results.

2. Drug therapy: The basis of drug therapy in the treatment of uterine fibroids is that uterine fibroids are sex hormone-dependent tumors, so drugs that antagonize sex hormones are used for treatment. Other androgens, progestins and vitamins are also used. Experts remind: These two methods are mainly suitable for young people who want to retain their fertility; premenopausal women with small fibroids and mild symptoms; those with combined medical or surgical diseases who are unable to undergo surgery or are unwilling to undergo surgery, etc.

3. Surgical treatment: Surgical treatment of uterine fibroids includes hysterectomy and myomectomy.

(1) Hysterectomy: When expectant management and drug therapy fail to improve the patient's symptoms, patients who need surgery but are not eligible for myoma removal should undergo hysterectomy. Hysterectomy can be performed by total hysterectomy or suprapubic hysterectomy. Total hysterectomy is generally recommended, especially for those with cervical hypertrophy, laceration or severe erosion. However, if the patient's general condition is poor and technical conditions are limited, only subtotal hysterectomy can be performed. The incidence of stump cancer is only about 1-4%, but regular check-ups are still advisable after surgery.

(2) Myomectomy: This is to remove the fibroids on the uterus. The surgery to preserve the uterus is mainly used for those under 45 years old, especially those under 40 years old. This is not only for infertile women who have no children, but also for those who have children. Myomas with a larger diameter than 6 cm, menorrhagia that is ineffective with conservative medication, or compression symptoms, submucosal fibroids; those with faster-growing fibroids should also undergo enucleation for the sake of physical and mental health.

4. Minimally invasive radiofrequency ablation is used to treat uterine fibroids without surgery. Radiofrequency ablation does not require laparotomy to protect the uterus. The operation is performed under the full control of the ultrasound screen. With dynamic B-ultrasound guidance, the superconducting needle intervenes in the lesion, with accurate temperature control, no damage to normal tissues, and accurate intervention in the lesion site. Through biological high fever, the diseased tissue is dehydrated, coagulated, and necrotic, and is absorbed by normal tissue and automatically excreted. This can achieve the goal of thermal coagulation to eliminate uterine fibroids without affecting the normal function of the uterus.

The above is an introduction to whether women with mild uterine fibroids can be cured. After understanding it, we know that when treating uterine fibroids, doctors will generally decide on the treatment method based on the condition of the disease and whether the woman has given birth before. I hope that female friends with uterine fibroids will not have too much psychological pressure, and must maintain a happy mood and go to the hospital for treatment and adjustment in time.
