Uterine fibroids are tumors that occur in the myometrium, and the vast majority are benign. The exact cause of uterine fibroids is unclear, and after extensive clinical studies, it is now believed that they may be related to high local estrogen levels in the body of the uterus. In clinical practice, there are symptomatic fibroids and asymptomatic fibroids. Symptomatic uterine fibroids, as the name implies, have clinical symptoms, which generally include: abnormal menstruation such as excessive menstruation, menstrual disorders, etc. They may also have symptoms of pressure such as urinary urgency, frequent urination, increased nocturia, difficulty in passing stool, lower abdominal pain, etc., increased leucorrhea, infertility, and in some patients, diabetes mellitus and hypertension. There is another kind of asymptomatic fibroids, which are often found when the fibroids are large and unintentionally felt in the abdomen or during routine gynecological examinations. If you have fibroids, don’t be afraid, the most important thing is to go to a regular hospital and only when the presence of fibroids affects your health, you need to deal with them. The following conditions are generally considered to require treatment: 1. the presence of excessive menstruation and ineffective medication; 2. obvious symptoms of pressure; 3. large fibroids (uterus in the size of a 2-month pregnancy or more); 4. small fibroids but the patient is under psychological pressure and requires treatment. There are more treatment methods for uterine fibroids, in general, there are five types: surgical treatment, drug treatment, HIFU high-intensity ultrasound focused knife, radiofrequency treatment, and interventional treatment. Interventional therapy has been used in clinical practice for more than 10 years and is the main method for treating uterine fibroids in western developed countries with definite efficacy. The main procedure is uterine artery embolization (UAE), which involves cutting a small hole the size of a grain of rice at the root of one thigh, inserting a special catheter into the blood supply artery of the fibroid and applying an embolic agent to block the blood supply to the fibroid to “starve” the fibroid. The procedure takes less time, 30 minutes at the earliest, and is usually completed in about an hour. The procedure is done under anesthesia, so it is painless. Post-operative reactions are mild, mainly a slight transient pain in the lower abdomen and a low fever, which are normal reactions after the intervention and can be treated symptomatically. There is no special requirement after the operation, usually you can eat 6 hours after the operation, and you can move freely in 24 hours; you can be discharged from the hospital in 3-5 days, and you can go to work normally in 7-10 days after rest. The fibroids appear necrotic after interventional treatment, so there is no problem of recurrence. After ten years of observation, interventional treatment of uterine fibroids has been a mature technology with better clinical results. The method does not require opening and removal of the uterus, preserving the function of the uterus; few side effects and complications; fast recovery and precise efficacy; short hospital stay, and has become the preferred method to replace hysterectomy in the treatment of uterine fibroids abroad.
