What kind of surgery is needed for uterine fibroids? What should I pay attention to when doing uterine fibroid surgery?

Uterine fibroids are common benign tumors in gynecology. For some fibroids that seriously affect the patient's health and quality of life, surgical treatment is required. So what kind of surgery is needed for uterine fibroids? What should you pay attention to after undergoing uterine fibroid surgery? The following will introduce it in detail in sections.

1. Choice of surgery for uterine fibroids

The choice of surgery for uterine fibroids depends on many factors, including the size, number, and location of the fibroids, as well as the patient's age, symptoms, and reproductive needs. Common surgical methods include hysteroscopic myomectomy and hysteroscopic myomectomy.

2. Hysteroscopic myoma removal

Hysteroscopic myomectomy is a minimally invasive surgical method for the treatment of uterine fibroids. This surgery is suitable for patients with small, few, and superficial myomas. The surgery will enter the uterine cavity through a hysteroscope and use special tools to peel off the myoma, preserve uterine tissue, reduce the risk of postoperative bleeding and infection, and better preserve the patient's fertility.

3. Hysteroscopic myomectomy

Hysteroscopic myomectomy is suitable for patients with large or numerous myomas. The surgery requires enlarging the uterine incision through hysteroscopy and then removing the myoma. Compared with stripping, resection can remove the myoma more thoroughly, but it also increases the risk of trauma and bleeding.

4. Precautions for surgery

1. Before surgery, you need to fully understand the patient's condition, physical condition, and preoperative preparations. The patient should stop taking anticoagulants or antiplatelet drugs as directed by the doctor.

2. Pay attention to rest and recovery after surgery. Mild abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and other discomfort symptoms may occur after surgery. This is a normal physiological reaction and the patient should deal with it in time under the guidance of the doctor.

3. After the operation, you need to follow the doctor's advice for medication or infection prevention, pay attention to your diet and lifestyle habits after the operation, avoid heavy physical labor and sexual life, so as not to irritate the wound and cause infection.

4. Regular follow-up visits are required after surgery to check the condition of the uterus and fibroids. Please follow the doctor's advice for related health care and treatment.

In summary, the appropriate surgical method should be selected for treatment based on the size, number, location of uterine fibroids, and the patient's age, symptoms, and fertility needs. Before surgery, you need to fully understand the preoperative preparations, pay attention to rest and recovery after surgery, follow the doctor's advice on medication and diet, and have regular follow-up visits. Reasonable surgical treatment can promote the patient's recovery and improve their quality of life.
