Method 1: Ablation surgery. The principle of ablation surgery is similar to that of a microwave oven. Ultrasonic energy is concentrated in the center of the uterine fibroid to ablate the uterine fibroid. Due to the irregular shape of uterine fibroids, ablation surgery can shrink the fibroids slightly, but it is unlikely to ablate all of them. Since the fibroid capsule still exists, the fibroids will continue to grow. In addition, ablation surgery will bring some side effects, such as fever in patients, long-term vaginal discharge, etc. Therefore, this method is not usually used.

Method 2: Interventional treatment. Interventional treatment has appeared in the last century, mainly used for uterine artery embolization, which embolizes the blood vessels of the fibroids and causes ischemic necrosis in the fibroids. However, due to the rich blood supply of the uterus, the actual effect is not ideal.

The rate of malignant change is very low, only 0.3% to 1.39% of married women of childbearing age, and 39% of them are patients with uterine fibroids.
