Surgery

Surgical treatment of uterine fibroids includes myomectomy and hysterectomy, which can be performed abdominally or vaginally, or endoscopically (hysteroscopy or laparoscopy). The choice of surgical procedure and approach depends on factors such as the patient's age, whether or not they have fertility requirements, the size and location of the fibroids, and medical technology conditions.

(1) Myomectomy is a surgery to remove uterine fibroids while preserving the uterus. It is mainly used for young women under 40 years old who wish to retain their fertility. It is suitable for patients with larger fibroids, heavy menstruation, compression symptoms, infertility due to fibroids, submucosal fibroids, and fast-growing fibroids without malignant transformation.

(2) Hysterectomy is recommended for patients with obvious symptoms, those with malignant fibroids, and those who have no fertility requirements. Hysterectomy can be performed with total hysterectomy or subtotal hysterectomy. For older women, total hysterectomy is more appropriate. The possibility of cervical malignancy must be excluded before surgery.

(3) Uterine artery embolization uses radiological intervention to directly insert an arterial catheter into the uterine artery and inject permanent embolic particles to block the blood supply to the uterine fibroids, thereby causing the fibroids to shrink or even disappear. UAE is currently mainly suitable for uterine fibroids with symptoms such as abnormal uterine bleeding leading to anemia. Caution should be exercised when choosing interventional treatment for uterine fibroids, especially for those with uncontrolled pelvic inflammation, those who wish to retain their fertility, those with arteriosclerosis, and those who have contraindications to angiography, which should be listed as contraindications to this treatment. 5% of patients may experience premature ovarian failure after surgery, and there are also rare reports of pelvic infections.
