When can uterine fibroids be operated on? How does traditional Chinese medicine treat uterine fibroids?

Many women will talk about "tumors". In fact, some diseases are not as terrible as expected. As long as they actively receive diagnosis and treatment, most of them can be cured. Let's talk about how much surgery should be done for uterine fibroids. I hope to give some advice to female patients who are troubled.

Experts point out that Chinese medicine calls uterine fibroids: "paralysis". Although the cause is still unclear, most people believe that it may be related to long-term and excessive stimulation. When the fibroids increase or embolize within the tumor, it is easy to degenerate. It is more common in women aged 30-50. The clinical symptoms are related to the location and size of the fibroid growth. Menstrual changes are the most common symptom. Larger intramural fibroids and submucosal fibroids have more menstruation, prolonged menstruation and shortened cycles, which may be accompanied by varying degrees of anemia. Submucosal fibroids have irregular vaginal bleeding or abnormal leucorrhea.

How many surgeries should be done for uterine fibroids:

Experts say: If the growth location of uterine fibroids is on the surface of the uterine muscle wall and uterine serosa and is less than 3cm, there is no need for surgical removal. However, after all, there is still a certain risk of tumor survival and close follow-up is required. But if the size of the uterine fibroids exceeds 3cm and the blood supply is rich, surgery should be performed as soon as possible. If it is multiple uterine fibroids, generally less than 3 and the largest less than 5cm, minimally invasive surgery can be performed.

To understand how much of the tumor can be removed, women should first understand its type. Uterine fibroids are divided into three types: submucosal, subserosal, and intermuscular, because the uterus is formed from the inside and is divided into the front and back walls of the uterus and the left and right sides. But this disease is not terrible, although it is called a "tumor", it has nothing to do with cancer. It is a benign hyperplasia. In fact, for this disease, as long as it has no impact on life, surgery is not allowed, and it will shrink after menopause. Your dysmenorrhea and swelling are caused by fibroids. If you can bear it, you can ignore it. Take medicine to control it and prevent it from growing. If uterine fibroids keep growing, or symptoms such as dysmenorrhea are too severe, consider removal.

However, if the uterine fibroids have the following conditions, surgery is required no matter how big they are:

1. Uterine fibroids combined with infertility.

Uterine fibroids and ovarian tumors cannot be distinguished.

3. Uterine fibroids grow rapidly in a short period of time and cannot undergo any malignant transformation except malignant transformation.

4. Have symptoms such as anemia, frequent urination, abdominal distension, etc.

5. Cervical fibroids and submucosal uterine fibroids (fibroids that grow in the uterine cavity).

Uterine fibroids should adopt a rational mentality of "small tumor, small tumor", and at the same time, do not be afraid of the word "surgery". At present, the treatment of gynecological diseases such as uterine fibroids mostly adopts minimally invasive treatment without surgery. Please take good care of yourself and take good care of your physical condition.
