What should you pay attention to before uterine fibroid surgery? What are the hazards of uterine fibroids?

Uterine fibroids are called the "first gynecological tumor". Irregular menstruation, abdominal masses, compression symptoms, pain, increased leucorrhea, infertility, circulatory system symptoms, etc., have caused great physical and mental damage to most women. So, what are the preventive measures before uterine fibroid surgery?

Surgical treatment of uterine fibroids requires great caution for both patients and doctors, so the preparation before surgery needs to be as thorough as possible. Preparation before uterine fibroid surgery includes communication between doctors and patients, cervical examination, dietary preparation, intestinal preparation, etc.

The specific preparations before uterine fibroid surgery mainly include the following aspects:

1. Doctors need to fully communicate with patients and their families, explain the indications for uterine fibroid surgery, what surgery is needed, why the surgery is needed, and inform them of the possible risks, benefits, side effects and complications of the surgery. Patiently accept questions raised by patients, explain, eliminate patients' concerns, and correct some misunderstandings and wrong ideas.

2. Cervical cytology examination must be performed before uterine fibroid surgery, or even cervical canal scraping surgery to rule out cervical cancer.

3. For patients with uterine fibroids who have excessive, prolonged or frequent menstruation, they may be accompanied by anemia. Diagnostic curettage should be performed before surgery to exclude malignant tumors, and hormone therapy should be used to control bleeding, and iron supplements should be given to correct anemia. Few patients need blood transfusions, as most patients have great concerns about blood transfusions.

4. For patients with internal and external diseases, doctors from other disciplines need to evaluate and examine them before surgery and provide active treatment to avoid affecting the surgical process and postoperative recovery.

5. For some patients with larger fibroids or adnexal masses, patients with a history of multiple pelvic surgeries in the past, or patients with very severe pelvic adhesions estimated by gynecological examination, intravenous pyelography should be performed before uterine fibroid surgery to understand the urinary tract and avoid damage.

The preparations before uterine fibroid surgery are detailed and varied. It is best for patients to communicate effectively with doctors before surgery so that the preparations before uterine fibroid surgery are conducive to smooth progress and recovery after surgery.
