Treatment of uterine tumors

Uterine fibroids are a type of malignant lung tumor that can affect the health of the uterus. If not treated in time, it can lead to infertility symptoms in women. Therefore, to address the symptoms of uterine fibroids, we need to use surgical treatment to remove the uterine fibroids and then check the clearance of the uterus. Because uterine fibroids can recur in multiple locations, women need to pay attention to the hygiene of the uterus and take medication on time.

1. Surgical treatment

Among the methods of treating uterine fibroids, surgery is the most common. For multiple uterine fibroids, combined hysteroscopic and laparoscopic surgery is recommended; for single fibroids located on the surface of the uterus, laparoscopic surgery is recommended; for submucosal fibroids (fibroids growing into the uterine cavity) with a volume less than 3 cm, hysteroscopic surgery is recommended as a surgical method for uterine fibroids.

Warm reminder: Although surgical treatment can eliminate clinical symptoms, hysterectomy will have adverse effects on women's endocrine function, leading to premature onset of menopausal syndrome, coronary heart disease, osteoporosis and other diseases. In addition, the surgery is very traumatic and takes a long time to recover.

2. Drug treatment

Drug therapy is a commonly used treatment method, which is much easier than surgery. Doctors usually prescribe some drugs according to the patient's condition.

Warm reminder: Drug treatment cannot solve the problem from the root. Those with mild symptoms can receive symptomatic treatment, but it is basically ineffective for severe patients, and long-term use has significant side effects. After stopping the medication, symptoms reappear, the uterus enlarges, and side effects such as low estrogen symptoms and osteoporosis are caused.

3. Focused Ultrasound Therapy

The principle of focused ultrasound technology is to use the good tissue penetration of ultrasound to accurately focus countless beams of low-intensity ultrasound emitted from outside the body on the tumor in the body. Through the focal area, the focal spot temperature instantly rises to above 65°C, and a point-line-surface-body treatment model is adopted to allow coagulative necrosis of the tumor tissue, thereby killing the tumor and ectopic endometrial tissue.

Warm reminder: Focused ultrasound therapy does not have the "glare of knives and blood" in traditional operating rooms. It is successful in one go and does not require multiple operations. The recovery after surgery is fast and it can preserve the female uterus intact. It does not affect normal physiological functions and does not leave scars on the abdomen. It is worth noting that ultrasonic ablation is not suitable for everyone and is not suitable for larger and multiple fibroids.
