Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried it might affect fertility, and I also feel extremely cold and afraid of the cold. What are the treatment methods for uterine fibroids?Doctor's answer:
Physical therapy is suitable for moderate and severe erosion, and it is currently the most effective and shortest-course method, generally requiring only one session for recovery. Electrocautery uses an electrocautery tip to contact the eroded surface, causing tissue coagulation and forming a scab. After about two weeks, the scab begins to shed, and the wound typically takes 6 to 8 weeks to heal. Surgery should be performed 3 to 5 days after menstruation. Women with adnexal inflammation should avoid it. After treatment, leukorrhea may temporarily increase or break the skin. If there is significant skin breakdown, sterile gauze can be used to apply medication, and it should be removed after 24 hours. The disadvantage is that sometimes scar contraction may lead to cervical stenosis.Cryotherapy uses a liquid nitrogen rapid cooling device to place the applicator on the eroded surface for 1 to 3 minutes, then remove it after natural rewarming, causing the inflamed tissue to freeze and necrose. After treatment, some watery discharge may occur 2 to 3 weeks later. The advantage is that skin breakdown and cervical stenosis are less likely to recur.
