What is wrong with repeated removal of uterine fibroids? Is there a risk of recurrence after uterine fibroid removal?

Uterine fibroids are a common gynecological disease, and surgical resection is one of the most commonly used treatments. However, some patients face the problem of repeated uterine fibroid resection. So, what is wrong with repeated uterine fibroid resection? Is there a risk of recurrence after uterine fibroid resection? This article will analyze it in detail from several aspects.

1. Physical damage caused by repeated excision

Myomectomy is a traumatic surgery that requires opening the abdomen, removing the uterine fibroids, and suturing the incision. However, repeated removal of uterine fibroids may cause certain physical damage to the patient. The surgical incision will cause certain damage to the abdominal tissue, and the postoperative recovery is slow and prone to complications. The long postoperative recovery process will have a certain impact on the patient's physical and mental health.

2. Risk of Losing Uterine Function

As uterine fibroids continue to recur, some patients will choose multiple hysterectomies and even consider hysterectomy. However, reproductive organs, represented by the uterus, play an important role in women's physical and mental health. Therefore, too many hysterectomies may cause women to lose their fertility and affect family harmony.

3. Issues with increased surgical risks

Myomectomy is a complex surgical procedure with certain risks. As the number of recurrences increases, the difficulty of the surgery will increase accordingly, and the operation time and wound area will also increase, further increasing the risk of surgery. Some patients may experience complications such as incision infection, bleeding, and wound dehiscence after multiple surgeries, and may need a longer recovery time.

4. Effective methods to control the recurrence of uterine fibroids

Although the risk of recurrence after uterine fibroid removal is high, there are ways to control it. On the one hand, patients can improve their body's immunity and reduce the possibility of tumor recurrence by maintaining good living habits, such as regular work and rest, a reasonable diet, and moderate exercise. On the other hand, some drug treatments can help patients effectively control the growth and recurrence of uterine fibroids. For example, Xiaoyao Pills in traditional Chinese medicine therapy can regulate the hormone levels in women's bodies, inhibit the growth of fibroids, and reduce the risk of recurrence.

Repeated removal of uterine fibroids is not an ideal choice, as it will cause physical and psychological damage to patients. Therefore, when treating uterine fibroids, patients should actively take effective measures to control the growth and recurrence of the tumor, thereby reducing the number of surgeries and risks. Patients also need to maintain close contact with their doctors and jointly develop a treatment plan that suits them to achieve the best treatment effect. Most importantly, patients should maintain an optimistic attitude, actively face the disease, and pay attention to physical health and maintenance. Only in this way can we better cope with the treatment and prevention of uterine fibroids.
