Interventional therapy and minimally invasive surgery are both commonly used to treat uterine fibroids, and there is no such thing as which one is better; patients should choose the appropriate treatment option under the guidance of their doctors.
Uterine fibroid intervention generally refers to uterine artery embolization, which is generally applicable to patients with abnormal uterine bleeding and no fertility requirements. By blocking the uterine artery and its branches, it reduces the blood supply to the fibroids, slows down their growth and relieves symptoms.
Minimally invasive surgery refers to laparoscopic surgery, hysteroscopic surgery, and negative surgery. For uterine subplasma fibroids and intermural fibroids, etc., they can be removed by laparoscopic surgery.
And for patients with fibroids suspected of malignancy or without fertility requirements, all or part of the uterus can be removed by laparoscopic surgery. Hysteroscopic surgery is generally used for submucosal fibroids and intermural fibroids that project into the uterine cavity. The vaginal procedure is used for submucosal fibroids that protrude into the vagina.
The treatment of uterine fibroids should be decided based on a number of factors, including the location of the fibroid and the patient’s fertility needs, and the patient should actively cooperate with the doctor for examination and treatment.
