Is myomectomy really useful? Who are the suitable people for myomectomy?

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

Myomectomy:

1. Total hysterectomy: Suitable for those who do not want to have children and whose uterus is larger than the size of a 3-month pregnancy. Although the fibroids are not large, the symptoms are obvious, such as bladder or rectal compression symptoms, conservative treatment failure or recurrence after fibroid removal, and the fibroids grow rapidly and cannot be ruled out as malignant. Its advantage is that the cervix is ​​removed at the same time during hysterectomy, which can avoid the threat of residual cervical cancer in the future.

2. Secondary hysterectomy: It is suitable for patients under 40 years old who voluntarily retain their cervix. Patients generally need to buy time for rescue, and those with severe medical complications cannot tolerate longer surgery, and those with severe pelvic adhesions find it difficult to remove the cervix. Its advantages are that it has less impact on bladder and sexual function, the surgery is simple, the time is short, and there are fewer surgical injuries and complications.

3. Intrafascial total hysterectomy: It retains the advantage of subtotal hysterectomy in terms of little impact on bladder and sexual function, avoids the threat of future cervical stump cancer, and reduces the damage and complications of total hysterectomy.

The above myomectomy is more common and has better results. When choosing, it is best to choose the most suitable one according to your actual situation. Of course, if you are not sure, you can consult the advice of relevant experts to get the accurate treatment method.
