Patient's question:
I am 35 years old and have had uterine fibroids for several years. I heard that focused ultrasound can treat uterine fibroids—is that true? Is the effect significant?Doctor's answer:
Hello, by focusing ultrasound, the temperature inside the tumor is raised above 65℃ locally, leading to coagulative necrosis of the tumor and achieving therapeutic effects. The treatment can cause uterine fibroids to shrink and alleviate symptoms. It is suitable for symptomatic uterine fibroids. The advantages include no surgical scars after treatment and rapid postoperative recovery. Side effects may include skin burns, adjacent intestinal damage, hematuria, and other symptoms. Additionally, it is essential to seek treatment at a professional institution to reduce the risk of complications.
