Uterine fibroids can be treated with minimally invasive surgery

Uterine fibroids are a very common gynecological disease in normal times, but most uterine fibroids are benign tumors. Whether uterine fibroids can be treated with minimally invasive surgery generally needs to be decided based on the specific situation. If the location of the fibroids and the condition of the cervix are normal, minimally invasive surgery can generally be performed. It is best to perform surgery 3-7 days after the menstruation is over, and nutrition must be strengthened after the operation.

If the uterine fibroids are already 7cm, surgical treatment should be adopted in time, because uterine fibroids larger than 5cm need to be treated surgically in time. If the treatment is delayed, the fibroids will grow larger and larger, and the possibility of cancer may increase, which may threaten the patient's physical health and even life health. Therefore, in order to avoid further aggravation of the patient's condition, patients who have been diagnosed with more serious conditions should actively adopt symptomatic surgical treatment, so as to ensure better treatment results and avoid unbearable consequences due to blind treatment or missing the best treatment time.

Generally, there are two surgical options for treating uterine fibroids, including myomectomy and hysterectomy. Patients can undergo surgery through hysteroscopy or laparoscopy. The method and route of surgery should be determined based on factors such as the patient's age, whether she has fertility requirements, the size of the fibroids, and the location of growth. As long as the patient goes to a hospital with better medical conditions and finds an experienced doctor to help them diagnose and treat, they can ensure that the treatment effect is more prominent and will not affect the patient's future fertility. If the patient is infertile, they can also tell the doctor in advance, which will help to better treat the disease.

Patients with uterine fibroids must not delay treatment, otherwise the fibroids will grow larger and larger, and the risks and harm caused will also become greater and greater. Patients should have regular check-ups for the disease, especially after surgery, to avoid recurrence of the disease. In addition, they should take good care of themselves after surgery, especially not overworked, and should pay attention to rest.

Precautions after uterine fibroid surgery

1. Within 6 hours after the uterine fibroid surgery, lie flat on the bed, but do not sleep on a pillow, and tilt your head to one side to avoid vomitus from being sucked into the trachea;

2. Most patients do not feel pain after uterine fibroid surgery, but you should also focus on massaging the patient's waist and legs, and help the patient turn over every 30 minutes to ensure blood circulation and prevent bedsores.

3. If the ureter can be removed after the infusion is completed on the same day, the patient can get out of bed and move around.

4. Six hours after minimally invasive surgery for uterine fibroids, the patient can eat a small amount of liquid food, such as porridge, noodle soup, etc. But do not give the patient sweetened milk or sugary drinks such as soy milk powder.
