Patient's question:
My childhood friend, whom I've been playing with since I was a child, suddenly fell ill and was diagnosed with uterine fibroids. Every time she has her period, the pain is excruciating, to the point of feeling like she's dying. I never imagined it could be this serious so quickly. Some doctors have recommended that she undergo a LEEP procedure to treat it. Can uterine fibroids be treated with a LEEP procedure?Doctor's answer:
The LEEP is not a true surgical knife. Under the full monitoring of a computer, a superconductive needle is minimally inserted into the center of the lesion. Utilizing the principle of radiofrequency coagulation, the uterine fibroid loses water, coagulates, degenerates, and expands during the coagulation process, thereby restoring the structure and function of the uterus. Compared to traditional gynecological surgery, its greatest advantage is that it does not require pressure, hospitalization, or minimal mental trauma, and it preserves the integrity of the female's reproductive organs, such as the uterus, without affecting fertility or harmonious marital life. The condition of uterine fibroids is very serious, and patients are advised to seek immediate treatment. It is hoped that patients can follow the doctor's advice for symptomatic treatment. At the same time, dietary issues should be paid attention to, avoiding spicy and irritating foods to prevent worsening the condition.
