”Ms. Li, a 40-year-old woman, sought treatment at the hospital for increased menstrual flow and prolonged periods. She was diagnosed with uterine fibroids and symptoms of general anemia, and the doctor recommended her to have her uterus removed. Ms. Li wanted to keep her uterus, and she approached Professor Dong in the imaging department of our hospital, and through interventional embolization treatment, the tumor was significantly reduced by more than half when she was rechecked three months later. Professor Dong told her that with time, the tumor would shrink further until it disappeared. The interventional treatment not only preserved Ms. Xiang’s uterus, but also solved her worries. It is understood that uterine fibroids are the most common benign tumors of the female reproductive system, with an incidence of about 20%-25% in women of childbearing age. The exact cause of uterine fibroids is unclear, but it is thought that it may be related to high local estrogen levels in the uterus. The exact cause of fibroids is unknown, and it is thought that it may be related to high local estrogen levels in the uterus. Hormone therapy requires long-term medication, which can cause endocrine disruption and more rapid growth of fibroids after stopping medication. Surgery includes myomectomy and hysterectomy. Although myomectomy can control the symptoms of the disease, the recurrence rate is as high as 10%-30% in the first year after surgery, and the surgery is traumatic and bleeds a lot during the surgery. Hysterectomy is a major disruption to the integrity of the female body and is unacceptable to many patients. Uterine artery embolization was first used in 1970 and has become the preferred alternative to hysterectomy for uterine fibroids abroad. The procedure involves cutting a small, rice-sized hole in 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 and can be completed in as little as 30 minutes and as long as an hour under local anesthesia, so it is painless. Post-operative reactions are mild, mainly in the form of mild and transient pain in the lower abdomen and low fever, which are normal reactions after the intervention and can be treated symptomatically. There is no special requirement after the operation, generally you can eat after the operation, and you can move freely for 24 hours; you can be discharged from the hospital in 3-5 days, and you can go to work normally after 7-10 days of rest. Prof. Dong introduced that after more than ten years of observation, interventional treatment of uterine fibroids has been a mature technique with better clinical results, and more than 90% of patients’ symptoms disappeared or improved significantly after embolization. Most patients return to normal menstruation and are able to conceive after the procedure.
