How to perform uterine fibroid surgery

Uterine fibroid surgery generally selects the appropriate method based on the size, location, number of fibroids and the patient's physical condition, mainly including hysteroscopy, laparoscopy and laparotomy. The doctor will develop the best plan based on the patient's specific situation to relieve pain, protect fertility or completely cure the disease.

Hysteroscopic surgery is suitable for patients whose fibroids are located under the endometrium, are small, and do not require hysterectomy. The hysteroscope is inserted into the uterine cavity to remove the fibroids, which has minimal trauma and fast recovery, but its scope of application is limited. Laparoscopic surgery is suitable for cases where the fibroids are large, numerous, or deep. It can remove a single fibroid or part of the uterine tissue. It is minimally invasive and has fast recovery. Open surgery is usually used for patients with fibroids that are too large, too numerous, or suspected of malignant lesions. It has a large operating field and a wide range of applications, but it is more traumatic and takes a long time to recover. A detailed assessment of the physical condition is required before surgery, including imaging examinations (such as ultrasound, MRI), blood tests, etc., and standardized management is also required during and after surgery.

After surgery, you need to rest and follow the doctor's advice on recovery. Avoid strenuous exercise and heavy physical labor in the short term. Eat a light diet and take more foods rich in protein and vitamins, such as lean meat, fish, and green leafy vegetables, to promote tissue recovery. Check regularly to monitor the recovery of the uterus and whether there are signs of recurrence. If you have symptoms such as abnormal bleeding and abdominal pain, you should see a doctor as soon as possible to avoid delaying treatment.
