Is laparoscopic surgery effective for treating uterine fibroids?

The effect of laparoscopic surgery in treating uterine fibroids needs to be judged according to the condition of the disease. If the diameter of the uterine fibroids is small, the treatment effect of laparoscopic surgery will be better, but if malignant changes are suspected, the effect will not be good.

The details are as follows:

1. Better: Uterine fibroids are a more common clinical disease, the cause of which is still unclear. It may be related to factors such as late stage and obesity. Most early patients may not have obvious clinical symptoms, and most are found accidentally during physical examinations. As uterine fibroids grow, they may cause abdominal masses, leucorrhea, lower abdominal swelling, and menstrual abnormalities. If the diameter of the uterine fibroids does not exceed 5 cm, and if the number of uterine fibroids is small, laparoscopic surgery can be used to remove the uterine fibroids. After surgery, not only can the reproductive function be preserved, but it also has the advantages of less trauma and faster recovery.

2. Not good: If there are a large number of uterine fibroids, or the diameter of the uterine fibroids is greater than 10 cm, there is a risk of malignant changes, or there is severe pelvic adhesion. At this time, laparoscopic surgery may not be able to fully observe the lesions during the operation, and there may be incomplete resection. For the sake of health, thorough treatment should be carried out through myomectomy and hysterectomy under the doctor's advice.

No matter which surgery you choose, you must pay attention to postoperative care and keep the affected area clean and dry.
