If uterine fibroids are severe, surgery is necessary because as the fibroids continue to grow, they will have a greater impact on women. However, whether or not to have surgery depends on the condition of the fibroids, so you must pay attention to regular check-ups to understand the size of the fibroids. 1. Who needs surgery most? In medicine, menstrual volume exceeding 80 ml or menstrual period lasting more than 7 days is usually called menorrhagia. If we calculate based on the average that each sanitary napkin collects 510 ml of menstrual blood, and that you need more than one and a half packs of sanitary napkins during your period, this can be considered as menorrhagia or anemia, and you will need to consider surgical treatment. 2. Surgery can be performed without hysterectomy Unlike before, total hysterectomy is the only treatment for menorrhagia caused by uterine fibroids. Now, you can also choose to: 3. Remove or reduce fibroids This is a treatment method that can preserve the uterus and is currently the most widely used conservative treatment method. After this treatment, more than 90% of patients can eliminate the problem of excessive menstruation. With the popularity of laparoscopy and minimally invasive surgery, many uterine fibroids can be completely removed by making small holes or through the vagina, so patients can return to normal life faster. 4. Starving fibroids The treatment principle of this method is to insert a very thin tube into the uterine artery and inject embolic agents to cut off the nutrition supply of the fibroids until the fibroids are starved to death. 80%-96% of patients can relieve menorrhagia through this treatment method. Drug inhibition It is mainly treated by taking certain drugs to inhibit the synthesis of sex hormones in the body, so that uterine fibroids cannot continue to grow and gradually shrink. |
