Common surgeries for uterine fibroids include:

Vaginal surgery: Vaginal myoma removal and vaginal hysterectomy can be performed. This type of uterine myoma surgery is suitable for patients with mild uterine prolapse or a relatively loose uterus, especially for patients with combined uterine prolapse.

Myomectomy: This type of uterine fibroid surgery is suitable for infertile patients or young patients who do not want to have their uterus removed. After myomectomy, there is still a possibility of recurrence because fibroids originate from multiple centers.

Hysterectomy: Suitable for patients who do not want to have children or are near menopause. Whether to remove the ovaries at the same time during this type of uterine fibroid surgery depends on the patient's age. It is generally recommended to perform a total hysterectomy during hysterectomy without preserving the cervix (the surgery that preserves the cervix is ​​called a subtotal hysterectomy), because the remaining cervix still has the possibility of developing fibroids.

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

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