What surgery is best for uterine fibroids?

Uterine fibroids are usually treated with myomectomy, uterine artery embolization, myomectomy, etc.

1. Myomectomy:

Myomectomy is a traditional surgical method to relieve symptoms and restore fertility by removing uterine fibroids. This surgery requires laparotomy, which causes greater damage to the uterus and takes a long time to recover after surgery.

2. Uterine artery embolization:

Uterine artery embolization is an interventional procedure that injects embolic agents into the uterine artery through a catheter to interrupt the blood supply to the uterine fibroids, thereby achieving a therapeutic effect. This method is less invasive and has a quick recovery, but it may cause adverse reactions such as abdominal pain and fever.

3. Transurethral resection of uterine myoma:

Transurethral myomectomy is an endoscopic surgical method to remove uterine fibroids through electrosurgical resection. This method can reduce trauma and bleeding to the uterus and has a relatively short recovery time.

In addition to the above surgeries, laser resection of uterine fibroids can also be performed. For different types and sizes of uterine fibroids, the appropriate surgical method needs to be selected according to the specific situation. Before surgical treatment, comprehensive evaluation and preparation should be carried out according to the doctor's advice and guidance to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the operation.
