Can uterine fibroids be treated with laser?

Patient's question:

My mother is already 49 years old. Recently, she was found to have uterine fibroids. Sometimes she experiences lower abdominal pressure pain. The doctor said the fibroids are a bit large and have already affected her normal life, suggesting that we should adopt surgical treatment. But we don't know what surgical treatment refers to, is it laser?

Doctor's answer:

Uterine fibroids cannot be treated with laser therapy. Only harsh treatment (i.e., medication treatment), compression, and minimally invasive treatment can be used. When the normal uterine fibroids are not very large, they will never affect normal life, and we will recommend using harsh treatment. If they grow to a certain extent and affect the patient's normal life, we will consider surgical treatment. Surgical treatment is divided into compression or minimally invasive categories.
Additionally, during the treatment period for uterine fibroids, the patient's dietary condition and care are also very crucial. The patient must digest vitamins, prevent stomach problems, and maintain a light diet to avoid unnecessary harm.
