Patient's question:
It started menstruating last year, and it's been abnormal. Sometimes it's just heavier when it comes. How is the treatment for uterine fibroids?Doctor's answer:
Uterine fibroids are the most common benign tumors in the female pelvis. The optimal treatment for uterine fibroids typically involves a total hysterectomy or myomectomy. However, a total hysterectomy not only causes significant trauma to the patient and a long recovery period but also leads to numerous postoperative complications. Since the uterus is involved in the female autoimmune system and endocrine regulation, removing the uterus—even if the ovaries are preserved—often results in symptoms such as early menopause, endocrine disorders, immune system dysfunction, vegetative nervous system disorders, and osteoporosis. In patients who undergo myomectomy, 60% will experience recurrence in the short term.
