The best time for uterine fibroid surgery is usually 3 to 7 days after the menstrual period is cleared.
Uterine fibroids are the most common benign tumors of the female reproductive system, mainly seen in women in their reproductive years, and are estrogen-dependent tumors. Surgery may be necessary if the fibroids are large and cause secondary anemia, or if there are symptoms of compression.
The best time for myomectomy is within 3 to 7 days after menstruation. At this time, the endometrium is relatively thin and the surgery will cause less damage to the endometrium, so there will be less bleeding after the surgery.
Depending on the location of the fibroids, different surgical procedures can be performed under the guidance of your doctor.
For example, for submucosal fibroids, or intermural fibroids that are growing towards the uterine cavity, hysteroscopic surgery can be done; for submucosal fibroids or intermural fibroids that are growing outward, laparoscopic surgery can be done. Besides, uterine artery embolization and fibroid ablation can also be done.
Patients with uterine fibroids are advised to consult a doctor for timely treatment and choose the appropriate treatment under the guidance of the doctor.
