How to treat uterine fibroids better? Here are some common surgical methods for uterine fibroids.

Surgery is effective in treating uterine fibroids. Uterine fibroid surgery can completely eliminate symptoms and is very beneficial for patients with uterine fibroids. It is necessary to choose the right uterine fibroid surgery. What are the common uterine fibroid surgeries? The following are common uterine fibroid surgeries.

Generally speaking, common uterine fibroid surgeries include: Vaginal surgery: feasible vaginal fibroid twisting and vaginal hysterectomy. This uterine fibroid surgery is suitable for patients with mild sagging or loose uterus, especially for patients with uterine prolapse.

Myomectomy: This type of uterine fibroid surgery is suitable for young patients who are infertile or do not want to remove their uterus. After myomectomy, there is still a possibility of recurrence due to the multi-center origin of fibroids.

Hysterectomy: Suitable for patients who have no fertility requirements or are near menopause. Whether the ovaries are removed at the same time during uterine fibroid surgery depends on the patient's age. It is generally recommended to perform a total hysterectomy during hysterectomy without retaining the cervix (subtotal hysterectomy retains the cervix) because there is still a possibility of fibroids in the residual cervix.

Uterine fibroid twisting surgery: This type of uterine fibroid surgery is only suitable for certain fibroids in the cervix, which are located lower and can be twisted directly out of the vagina.

Hysteroscopic surgery: An endoscope is placed in the uterine cavity through the vagina to remove protruding fibroids in the uterine cavity. It is suitable for submucosal fibroids and some intramural fibroids. It requires high surgical skills.
