Subplasma fibroids may recur after surgery.
Uterine fibroids are a common benign disease in women. It is currently believed that uterine fibroids are related to the level of estrogen and progesterone in women, and that young women and patients who have not been completely cleaned up by surgery are at risk of recurrence after surgical treatment.
Young women have good ovarian function and secrete high levels of estrogen and progesterone. Although surgery is performed to remove the subplasma fibroids, the uterus continues to receive estrogen and progesterone stimulation after surgery, so they may recur after surgery.
Some patients may have multiple fibroids. During the operation, the visible and larger fibroids can be removed, but the smaller fibroids such as those of the size of a grain of rice cannot be completely removed, and the small fibroids will continue to grow under the effect of estrogen and progesterone, and will recur after a period of time.
Therefore, fibroids may recur after surgery, and after recurrence, the doctor will need to conduct a comprehensive assessment of the fibroids and the patient’s condition, and then formulate a treatment plan.
