The following is an introduction to traditional surgical treatment of uterine fibroids:

There are many traditional surgical methods for uterine fibroids, including total hysterectomy, subtotal hysterectomy, myomectomy, uterine artery embolization, major laparotomy, minimally invasive laparoscopy and interventional embolization. Each of these methods has its own advantages and disadvantages, and the appropriate method should be selected according to the specific situation of the patient.

A. The advantage of hysterectomy is that it relieves the worry about new uterine fibroids. There are many adverse effects after losing the uterus: surgical resection itself is a harmful therapy; anesthesia accidents may occur during surgery; complications such as intestinal adhesions after surgery; pelvic relaxation; in addition, the ovaries lack blood supply from the ascending branch of the uterine artery, which is prone to premature aging and early menopause, which may affect women's sexual life and even some women's personality changes.

B. The advantages of minimally invasive treatment are that the uterus can be preserved, scars are small, and trauma is minimal. Laparoscopic treatment is more likely to recur, and one-third of patients need another surgery. There is a risk of heavy bleeding and damage to surrounding organs during surgery, and side effects such as scars and intestinal adhesions after surgery. Uterine artery embolization treatment can cause complications such as fever, pain, pelvic infection, embolization of normal organs, and affect sexual function; X-ray radiation effects.
