Patient's question:
I previously had uterine fibroids that weren't serious, and I took some medication to recover, so I didn't pay much attention. A few days ago, I felt discomfort in my lower abdomen and had a thorough examination, which revealed that the uterine fibroids had recurred and continued to worsen. The doctor said that surgery to remove them would be necessary. I learned that most uterine fibroids are now treated with minimally invasive surgery.Doctor's answer:
Minimally invasive interventional treatment is essentially a fine-needle puncture under ultrasound guidance, targeting the adenomyosis area to "remove pests" and eliminate the majority of ectopic lesions. The temperature of the thermal coagulation agent is very mild, and ultrasound localization is accurate, making it safe with minimal damage to the uterus. Currently, minimally invasive surgery is commonly used for treating uterine fibroids, with radiofrequency ablation being a popular method.Gynecological experts emphasize that they do not advocate for "cutting out the entire uterus" for fibroid treatment, as it causes significant harm to women. Radiofrequency ablation for uterine fibroids does not require laparotomy. The procedure is performed under continuous surveillance by a monitor, guided dynamically by ultrasound. The superconductive needle is inserted into the lesion, with precise temperature control to avoid damaging normal tissues. It accurately targets the inflamed area.
Through biothermal hyperthermia, the inflamed tissue loses water, becomes coagulated and purulent, and is gradually metabolized and expelled by normal tissues.
