What are the common treatments for uterine fibroids? How to perform surgical treatment on uterine fibroids?

Uterine fibroids are the most common benign tumors in the female reproductive organs. The incidence of uterine fibroids is very high. It is reported that about 20% of women over 35 years old suffer from this disease, and it is most common in 40-50 years old and under 20 years old. The treatment methods for uterine fibroids in Tianjin are:

1. Conservative treatment is what we often call drug treatment in our lives. Although drug treatment can play a certain role, for patients with severe conditions, drug treatment can only treat the symptoms but not the root cause, and cannot completely cure uterine fibroids because the drug contains hormones, and long-term use will not improve the condition. This method is still suitable for patients with milder conditions.

2. Minimally invasive surgical treatment is mainly laparoscopic treatment, which makes up for the shortcomings of traditional treatment and surgical treatment, and can enable patients to recover their health as soon as possible. The risk of surgical treatment is relatively reduced. Because it is a minimally invasive surgery, the wound is very small, which can satisfy women's cosmetic psychology.

3. Surgery is the main treatment for uterine fibroids, because surgery is to remove the fibroids in the uterus, which can make the patient recover as soon as possible and reduce the harm of the disease to health. But generally speaking, for patients who do not have fertility requirements, surgical treatment can be performed.

4. Interventional treatment: Interventional treatment occurred in the last century, mainly injecting embolic agents into the uterine artery to embolize the fibroid blood vessels, causing ischemia and necrosis in the fibroid. However, due to the rich blood supply of the uterus, the actual effect is not ideal.

5. Ablation surgery: The principle of ablation surgery is similar to that of a microwave oven, which ablates uterine fibroids by focusing ultrasound energy on the center of the uterine fibroids. Due to the irregular shape of uterine fibroids, ablation surgery can shrink the fibroids slightly, but it is unlikely to ablate all uterine fibroids because the fibroid capsule still exists and the fibroids will continue to grow. The above introduces some good ways to treat uterine fibroids, I hope it can help you.
