Patient's question:
Age 36, born in 1979. Natural miscarriage twice in 2013 and 2014. Have uterine fibroids, but the doctor said it does not affect pregnancy. Menstruation comes regularly every 28 days, and ovulation test strips can detect strong positive, with cervical mucus discharge during ovulation.Doctor's answer:
Hello, there are many treatment options for uterine fibroids, with the most common still being traditional surgical treatment, including total hysterectomy, subtotal hysterectomy, myomectomy, uterine artery embolization, and ultrasound ablation. Surgical approaches include large incision open surgery, hysteroscopy, or laparoscopic surgery. Hysterectomy can lead to loss of the uterus, abdominal scars, vaginal dryness, decreased libido, osteoporosis, perimenopausal symptoms, and ovarian failure. It is recommended to choose carefully. After laparoscopic surgery, there is a 50% recurrence rate, and 1/3 of patients may need a second surgery. There is a risk of severe bleeding and damage to surrounding organs during the procedure. The most ideal treatment for uterine fibroids is non-invasive ultrasound ablation. This method does not require surgery or anesthesia, preserves the uterus, and has no surgical or anesthetic risks—it is the most humane treatment option. Of course, each treatment has its own advantages, and the key is to choose the treatment method that suits you. Traditional surgical methods are definitely the most traumatic. Anesthesia always carries certain risks, and after surgery, scars of varying sizes may remain.
