What should I do with uterine fibroids? Misunderstandings about the treatment of uterine fibroids

Uterine fibroids are still a relatively common tumor among middle-aged female friends. In recent years, there has been a trend of younger patients. Generally, they are benign tumors, but some uterine fibroids can become malignant. Therefore, female friends with uterine fibroids must pay close attention to close observation to prevent malignant transformation.

How do uterine fibroids need to be treated? Which uterine fibroids do you need?

Usually, asymptomatic uterine fibroids do not require treatment; when the tumor area is less than 5cm and cannot be controlled by drugs, surgical treatment is required if the tumor area exceeds 5cm. Because this situation is likely to have become malignant and is more serious, it must be treated in a timely manner.

There are many treatments for uterine fibroids. Doctors also need to determine the type of uterine fibroids based on the individual's specific situation. Currently, the commonly used clinical methods for uterine fibroids include:

1. Myomectomy

Generally, for patients who have no childbearing experience and are under 35 years old, whose fallopian tubes are smooth and whose tumors have not become malignant, myonucleectomy can be chosen to maintain fertility, but the treatment will cause bleeding. After pregnancy, one must be vigilant against uterine rupture and it is best to choose a cesarean section.

2. Hysterectomy

Elderly patients with obvious symptoms, the possibility of cancer, and no desire to have children should undergo total hysterectomy.

3. Radiation therapy

Traditional treatments for uterine fibroids have been gradually replaced by other treatments because ovarian function will still be lost after treatment.

4. Traditional Chinese Medicine Treatment

For uterine fibroids, most of them require auxiliary treatment with traditional Chinese medicine to consolidate the therapeutic effect and reduce side effects.

The above is an introduction on how to treat uterine fibroids correctly. I hope you can read it well. In addition, we are still talking about uterine fibroids. Many female friends will have some misunderstandings because they don’t know, such as:

First of all, most patients with uterine fibroids think that uterine fibroids can be removed with just one knife. In fact, this is not the case. Uterine fibroids have a certain possibility of recurrence. Therefore, female friends must do a good job of nursing after uterine fibroid removal and strictly follow the doctor's instructions for care, so as to avoid the recurrence of uterine fibroids to the greatest extent.

Secondly, many patients with uterine fibroids are worried about the side effects of surgical treatment, so they choose to use drugs for conservative treatment, but some patients with uterine fibroids must use surgical treatment, because drug treatment can only relieve the symptoms of uterine fibroids, but cannot cure it. So it is usually only used as an auxiliary treatment.

Therefore, I hope everyone will understand when seeing a doctor.
