Will uterine fibroids recur after surgery? Treatment methods for uterine fibroids

With the rapid development of medical technology in modern society, many diseases can be cured by surgery. Uterine fibroid surgery is also a good way to treat uterine fibroids. However, many women still have recurrence after uterine fibroid surgery. This makes many female friends doubt the reliability of uterine fibroid surgery. In fact, this phenomenon is normal.

1. If uterine fibroids are treated with general surgery, the fibroids can only be removed, which can only play a symptomatic role. This is mainly because uterine fibroids can occur alone or multiple, that is, a uterus can grow several, dozens or even hundreds of fibroids. At the same time, the size of the fibroids can be as small as a millet grain or a watermelon.

2. In addition, these tumors do not all grow on the surface of the uterus, but in the muscle wall or serosa, or under the mucosa of the uterus, some are deep and some are shallow, so they may not be seen during surgery. Uterine fibroid surgery removes visible or large fibroids, but some invisible fibroids cannot be removed. In this way, large fibroids are removed, small fibroids or fibroids that cannot be seen with the naked eye still exist, and after a period of time, small fibroids grow again. Therefore, after the removal of fibroids, the disease may recur, but not necessarily at the site of the primary fibroid.

3. General surgical treatment of uterine fibroids only removes the tumor, but cannot fundamentally restore endocrine balance and fundamentally inhibit the generation of fibroids. Therefore, the treatment of uterine fibroids must start from the root, listen to the doctor's treatment advice, and choose the appropriate uterine fibroid surgery to get rid of the stubborn disease.
