What to do if uterine fibroids recur

When it comes to gynecological diseases, we are usually ashamed to talk about it because it makes people feel embarrassed. In fact, this attitude is not good. It may delay the best time for you to treat the disease. Therefore, if you find any discomfort in your body, you should seek help from a doctor as soon as possible and tell the doctor the truth so that the doctor can prescribe the right medicine and cure your condition.

Regarding gynecological diseases, there is a disease called uterine fibroids, which sounds scary. However, if we do not receive good care after the operation, it is possible to recur. What should we do once it recurs? Let us take a look at how experts view the recurrence of uterine fibroids.

The recurrence rate of fibroids after myomectomy is high, generally 20% to 30%. The main reasons for the recurrence of fibroids are the following two points: First, although the fibroids have been removed during surgery, the pathogenic factors of the fibroids still exist, and new fibroids occur several years after the surgery. Secondly, during myomectomy, doctors rely on abnormalities in the appearance and touch of the uterus to discover and remove the fibroids, which may be missed or incompletely removed.

Therefore, there may still be smaller intramural fibroids that are missed or remain during surgery and gradually grow larger under the action of ovarian sex hormones after surgery. According to statistics, in premenopausal women, the recurrence rate of fibroids gradually increases with the gradual extension of time after surgery. Generally, recurrence occurs 2 to 3 years after surgery, and the recurring fibroids are often multiple, that is, multiple fibroids. There is usually no obvious discomfort in the early stages of recurrence after myomectomy, and it is often difficult to be discovered. By the time menstrual changes or compression symptoms appear and people go to the hospital for examination, the fibroids are often already very large. Therefore, patients who have undergone myomectomy should not assume that the myoma has been cured and that they can rest easy from now on. Instead, they should have regular checkups, generally with B-ultrasound every three months to six months.

Through the detailed answers in this article, we already know how to curb the development of the disease in the early stages of relapse and better control the disease. In any case, protective measures must be taken for gynecological diseases and nursing care must be in place, otherwise recurrence is only a matter of time. Some people suffer repeated recurrences because they fail to do this well.
