Patient's question:
My mother has uterine fibroids, how can the treatment be more effective?Doctor's answer:
Malignant uterine fibroids need to know how to treat malignant uterine fibroids, you must first know what symptoms it has. Gynecological experts say that uterine fibroids can cause irregular vaginal bleeding, which is a common symptom of malignant uterine fibroids. The bleeding can occur at any time, except for those undergoing hormone therapy. If postmenopausal women undergoing hormone replacement therapy experience vaginal bleeding similar to menstruation, it may indicate the possibility of uterine cancer. Abdominal mass, a lower abdominal mass is often the main complaint of uterine fibroid patients, accounting for up to 69.6%. Sometimes it may also be the only symptom. Intramural fibroids that grow into the abdominal cavity without affecting the endometrium, especially those located at the bottom of the uterus or pedunculated subserosal fibroids, often exhibit this condition. Weight loss, weakness, lower abdominal, back, and leg pain, these symptoms generally appear in the middle and late stages, when tumor cells have usually already metastasized or spread. Currently, the main treatment for malignant uterine fibroids is surgical intervention, such as: hysterectomy (including total and partial), myomectomy. Hysterectomy is generally suitable for uteri the size of a 3-month pregnancy, where the fibroid is not large but the symptoms are significant, or when the fibroid grows rapidly and malignant transformation cannot be ruled out; while myomectomy is primarily suitable for women under 35, who are unmarried and have not given birth. How to treat malignant uterine fibroids? With the widespread use of minimally invasive surgery in clinical practice, most uterine fibroid surgeries can be performed with the help of laparoscopy and hysteroscopy. Minimally invasive surgery transforms the original 10-15 cm incisions into two or three small holes of about 0.5-1 cm on the abdomen, turning the centipede-like scars on the skin into faint traces, thereby alleviating much of the physical and mental suffering caused by the disease. In addition to surgery, the treatment of malignant uterine fibroids also requires the combination of medication.
