Patient's question:
Today during my health check-up, I found that I have uterine fibroids, 0.6 cm. I didn't have them in the first half of the year, but they suddenly grew this large, and my uterus is also enlarged. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
How should uterine fibroids be treated in patients? Hormone therapy for uterine fibroids has been proven to be limited in effectiveness and has numerous side effects. Traditional open surgery can completely remove the fibroids, but often the uterus is also completely removed, and part of the ovaries may also be removed, which raises concerns about harming the innocent. Additionally, the abdomen leaves obvious scars, which can lead to premature aging and make many women, especially young women, difficult to understand. Hysterectomy via the vagina causes less pain and leaves no surface scars, addressing some of the issues of open surgery. Transcatheter arterial embolization of uterine arteries has recently seen a rapid resurgence. This method treats uterine fibroids without compression, without removing the uterus, without affecting hormone levels, and without the need for surgery, with significant therapeutic effects.
