The incidence of uterine fibroids has been increasing in recent years, and it has seriously affected the health of women. If it is not properly prevented and treated in time, the harmful consequences will be aggravated and bring pain to women. So, how should uterine fibroids be treated? The treatment concept of uterine fibroids is different from other tumors in the human body. For most tumors in the human body, it is recommended to be surgically removed in time once they are discovered. Even benign tumors are recommended to be removed to prevent the possibility of malignant transformation. However, this is not the case for uterine fibroids. Except for a few patients with symptoms who meet the surgical indications, surgery is not recommended for smaller, asymptomatic uterine fibroids, because these small fibroids will neither harm the health of the body nor make people feel uncomfortable, let alone threaten the patient's life. Therefore, the treatment principle of "coexisting with the tumor" is adopted. The indications for uterine fibroid surgery can be roughly divided into two categories. One is when the size of the uterus increases significantly and reaches the size of a uterus of 2.5 months of pregnancy or more, surgery is required, because such large fibroids are prone to produce various symptoms, and even cause fibroid degeneration due to blood supply disorders; the other is when the fibroids are not too large but produce obvious symptoms, such as larger or more fibroids, which significantly increase the area of the uterine cavity and endometrium, poor uterine contractions, resulting in excessive menstruation and secondary anemia. No matter how "simple" and "safe" the treatment or surgery method is, if there is no indication for treatment or surgery, do not rush into it. There is no absolutely "safe" drug or surgery in the world. If you do not consider the indication and perform treatment or surgery beyond the scope, it will not only fail to bring real benefits to the patient, but may also bring complications that are harmful to the patient's health and could have been completely avoided. |
