Patient's question:
Description of the condition (onset time, main symptoms, changes in symptoms, etc.): Can uterine fibroids be treated with minimally invasive surgery?Doctor's answer:
Hello, uterine fibroids are common benign tumors in women and will naturally shrink after menopause. If you currently have relatively large fibroids and feel significant psychological burden that has already affected your work and daily life, it is necessary to consider timely treatment for uterine fibroids. If the fibroids are small, you can consider coexisting with them and avoid medical intervention for now, with a follow-up ultrasound every six months.There are many treatment options for uterine fibroids, including open surgery, laparoscopic or hysteroscopic fibroid removal, hysterectomy, arterial embolization, and HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound ablation). Among all current methods, HIFU is the least invasive non-surgical approach, with faster postoperative recovery. It is recommended as the first choice.
