Patient's question:
Do you have to have your uterus removed if you suffer from uterine fibroids? Are there any methods to treat uterine fibroids without removing the uterus? If it can be treated, how long does it take approximately? Is it necessary to be hospitalized?Doctor's answer:
It is not necessary to remove the uterus when suffering from uterine fibroids. Advanced non-invasive focused ultrasound therapy can be used for treatment, which is highly effective and does not require hospitalization.Using focused ultrasound to treat uterine fibroids targets only the affected area while causing no harm to surrounding tissues. This allows the female uterus to be preserved intact. The therapy offers advantages such as being non-invasive, painless, requiring no hospitalization, delivering proven efficacy, and saving costs.
Currently, focused ultrasound is included in the reimbursement scope of provincial and municipal medical insurance and the New Rural Cooperative Medical Scheme. Patients can hold their medical insurance cards to receive treatment at the Tumor Treatment Research Center of Focused Ultrasound at the Affiliated Hospital of Changchun University of Traditional Chinese Medicine and enjoy reimbursement.
