What surgery is best for uterine fibroids?

If the uterine fibroids are serious and grow larger, then you should consider surgical treatment. However, there are different types of surgical treatments, so patients should pay attention to scientific treatment solutions based on their own conditions.

1. Uterine fibroids are a common disease among women. The incidence rate is high, with 20% of women over 30 years old suffering from the disease. It is composed of proliferating uterine smooth muscle cells and fibrous connective tissue. It is a benign tumor with very little chance of malignant transformation.

2. Uterine fibroids often grow in the uterine body, but they can also grow in other parts of the body. Some patients are temporarily asymptomatic, or the tumor shrinks after menopause. However, in most cases, infertility may be caused by excessive menstruation, irregular vaginal bleeding, anemia, compression symptoms or changes in the position of the fallopian tubes. It seriously endangers women's health.

3. Whether uterine fibroids require hysterectomy is a question that patients are extremely concerned about. Uterine fibroids are traditionally treated with surgery. For those without symptoms, surgery is temporarily not recommended. Conservative treatment was given, and observation and regular follow-up were performed. Those with obvious symptoms. It should be removed surgically. Such as menorrhagia and irregular vaginal bleeding that have caused anemia; pain or urinary retention caused by enlarged fibroids; fibroids that are larger than a 3-month pregnancy; fibroids with pedicles under the mucosa that protrude from the cervical opening; uterine fibroids that affect normal sexual life; pedunculated fibroids that metastasize or become infected; there is a mass in the pelvic cavity and the diagnosis is unclear, etc. The scope of resection should be determined according to the specific condition. It is suitable for married women with children over 45 years old. If there are serious symptoms, total hysterectomy can be used. If unmarried or married young women without children wish to preserve their uterus, they should be treated with caution and handled appropriately. Depending on the patient's condition, the location and size of the fibroids, conservative treatment is used as much as possible, and hysterectomy is generally not performed. Sometimes, in order to avoid permanent infertility caused by the growth of fibroids, myomectomy can be performed early to preserve the uterus. Preserve the reproductive mechanism. This surgery requires skilled and meticulous techniques, good postoperative treatment and care. Generally speaking, after surgery, the patient's menstruation can be reduced to normal, symptoms disappear, and sexual life can be resumed as usual.

4. In recent years, with the continuous development of medical science, the research on the relationship between uterine fibroids and endocrine system has brought new insights into the pathogenesis of uterine fibroids. According to the characteristics of myoma growth dependence on hormones, non-surgical treatment with antagonistic hormones or traditional Chinese medicine treatment can save patients from the pain of hysterectomy. In other words, the wish to cure uterine fibroids without surgery may come true.
