Why do uterine fibroids recur after surgery?

In modern society, medical technology is developing rapidly, and many diseases can be cured by surgery. Uterine fibroid surgery is also a good way to treat uterine fibroids. However, many women still experience recurrence of uterine fibroids after uterine fibroid surgery. This makes many female friends doubt the reliability of uterine fibroid surgery. In fact, this phenomenon is normal.

If the general treatment of uterine fibroid surgery is to only remove the fibroids, it will only have a palliative effect. This is mainly because uterine fibroids can occur singly or multiple, that is, a uterus can have several, dozens, or even hundreds of fibroids. At the same time, the size of fibroids varies, ranging from as small as a millet to as large as a watermelon. Moreover, these tumors do not all grow on the surface of the uterus, but can be deep or shallow between the muscle walls of the uterus, under the serosa, or under the mucosa, so they may not all be visible during surgery. Visible or large fibroids are removed through uterine fibroid surgery, but some invisible fibroids cannot be removed. In this way, large fibroids are removed, but small fibroids or those that are not clearly visible to the naked eye still exist, and after a period of time, the small fibroids grow again. Therefore, after the fibroids are removed, there may be a phenomenon of recurrence of the disease, but it is not necessarily the location of the primary fibroids.

The general surgical treatment of uterine fibroids only removes the tumors that have grown, but cannot fundamentally restore the endocrine balance and fundamentally inhibit the formation of fibroids. Therefore, the treatment of uterine fibroids must start from the root, listen to the doctor's treatment opinions, and choose the appropriate uterine fibroid surgery to get rid of the stubborn disease.
