What are the methods of myomectomy?

Among the many methods of treating uterine fibroids, myomectomy is one of the better treatments because it is thorough and has low risks. So what are the common methods of myomectomy? The following are the specific suggestions given by experts.

Myomectomy:

1. Total hysterectomy: It is suitable for those who do not want to have children, whose fibroids are not large but have obvious symptoms, who have bladder or rectal compression symptoms, who have failed conservative treatment or who have recurred after fibroid removal, or whose fibroids grow rapidly and cannot be ruled out as malignant. Its advantage is that the cervix can be removed at the same time as the hysterectomy, which can avoid the threat of cervical stump cancer in the future.

2. Subtotal hysterectomy: It is suitable for patients under 40 who are willing to keep their cervix, patients who are in critical condition and need to save time, patients with serious medical complications who cannot tolerate long surgery, and patients with severe pelvic adhesions who have difficulty in removing the cervix. Its advantages are that it has little impact on bladder and sexual function, simple operation, short time, and less surgical damage and complications.

3. Intrafascial total hysterectomy: It retains the advantage of subtotal hysterectomy in terms of little impact on bladder and sexual function, and eliminates the threat of cervical stump cancer in the future due to preservation of the cervix; it reduces surgical damage and complications of total hysterectomy.

The above-mentioned uterine myomectomy method is relatively common and has better effects. When choosing, it is best to choose the most suitable one based on your actual situation. Of course, if you are not sure, you can consult the advice of relevant experts to come up with accurate treatment methods.
