Uterine fibroids are one of the most common benign tumors in the female reproductive organs and one of the most common tumors in the human body. They are also called fibroids and uterine fibroids. Because uterine fibroids are mainly composed of the proliferation of uterine smooth muscle cells and a small amount of fibrous connective tissue exists as supporting tissue, they are more accurately called uterine leiomyoma. Uterine fibroids.

What are the treatments for uterine fibroids?

1. Laparoscopic resection. This treatment method is minimally invasive surgery. The maximum size of the abdominal wall wound is 1.5 cm. The uterine fibroids are located between the muscle walls and protrude toward the serosal surface, that is, toward the abdominal cavity. Pregnancy can be prepared 6 months after surgery.

2. Hysteroscopic surgery and transurethral resection of uterine fibroids. This treatment method is a minimally invasive surgery with no incision in the abdominal wall. It is suitable for the removal of uterine fibroids located between the uterine cavity or close to the mucosal surface. The patient will recover 3 months after surgery, and generally you can prepare for pregnancy 3 months later.

3. Open uterine myomectomy. Because uterine fibroids are large, multiple fibroids can be removed by open uterine myomectomy. You can prepare for pregnancy six months after surgery. Pay attention to follow-up after surgery. Many patients will have recurrence of fibroids. For example, regular inspections should be conducted 16 weeks after pregnancy to observe changes in uterine scars and be alert to uterine rupture. If uterine fibroids are found to be protruding, early surgery is recommended. Small wounds of fibroids heal well.

If the fibroids are small, asymptomatic, without complications or malignant changes, surgery is generally not required. Especially for people approaching menopause, due to the low estrogen levels after menopause, the fibroids will naturally shrink or disappear, and only regular checkups are needed. If the fibroids are found to be enlarged or the symptoms are obvious, further treatment should be considered.
