[Medical Q&A] HIFU is effective, why doesn’t the doctor recommend it to me?

Planner: Chinese Medical Association

Reviewer: Yu Qi, Chief Physician, Peking Union Medical College Hospital

"HIFU" is "high-intensity focused ultrasound". Although it is effective in treating uterine fibroids, it is not suitable for everyone. When the following conditions exist, it is not suitable for the use of "HIFU".

If the doctor suspects that the uterine fibroids may be malignant, or the fibroids grow too fast and may become malignant, the use of HIFU is not recommended.

If there is severe vaginal bleeding or acute pelvic inflammation, HIFU treatment is not suitable.

This treatment is not suitable for people with other difficult-to-control systemic diseases or who are unable to lie prone for more than 2 hours at a time.

After treatment, pedunculated uterine fibroids form coagulative necrosis, which is not conducive to absorption, and HIFU treatment is usually not recommended.

If you are pregnant or menstruating, you are not suitable for HIFU treatment.

In general, there are many ways to treat uterine fibroids. When choosing a treatment plan, patients should fully understand the advantages and disadvantages of various treatments and choose the treatment that is most suitable for them and has the least impact on their health. The doctor will give professional advice based on your specific situation.
