Does ultrasound ablation affect fertility?

With the increasing trend of younger patients with fibroids and adenomyosis, infertility due to fibroids and adenomyosis is plaguing more and more young women who have not yet had children. In recent years, ultrasound ablation treatment for fibroids and adenomyosis has gradually come into the limelight, and this advanced non-invasive treatment has brought benefits to many women with fibroids and adenomyosis. However, many women with fertility requirements are “afraid” of ultrasound ablation because they do not understand the non-invasive treatment, fearing that even if the disease is cured, it may affect fertility and even the health of the next generation. Does ultrasound ablation affect fertility? In fact, ultrasound ablation ultrasound ablation is a safe and effective treatment, not only will not affect the reproductive function of women, but also has more unique advantages than other traditional treatments. Many patients don’t understand the working principle of “HEFL” and believe that ultrasound will produce radiation to the human body and even affect the fetus after pregnancy. Unlike x-rays, gamma rays and other radioactive rays, ultrasound is a mechanical wave, no radiation, no side effects on the uterine environment, no subsequent adverse effects, and no impact on the development of the fetus. This is the reason why ultrasound is widely used in pregnancy screening. Protection of the endometrium Traditional surgery for fibroids or adenomyosis can easily cause damage to the endometrium due to improper operation and may even cause medically induced endometriosis, which is detrimental to the storage, survival and acquisition of sperm, fertilization and development of the fertilized egg, resulting in infertility and miscarriage. The focus of ultrasound ablates only the lesion under the real-time monitoring of ultrasound, which has little impact on the endometrium and protects the endometrium as a soil for embryonic growth and development. Avoiding adhesions Open surgery and laparoscopic surgery may cause pelvic adhesions and intestinal adhesions to some extent, and hysteroscopic surgery may also cause cervical adhesions and uterine adhesions. Pelvic adhesions include adhesions to the uterus, fallopian tubes and ovaries, which play a very important role in the fertility process. Once adhesions occur in these organs, they can prevent the sperm and egg from uniting or affect the fertilized egg’s implantation and development, and even if a normal pregnancy occurs, it is very likely to have a premature birth or miscarriage, or even an ectopic pregnancy. Since ultrasound ablation is a non-invasive treatment, it can avoid the adhesions caused by invasive procedures and provide women with a guarantee for a smooth pregnancy and delivery. Short Contraceptive Time As invasive surgery is more damaging to the uterus, in order to prevent risks such as uterine rupture after pregnancy, doctors usually recommend patients to take contraceptive measures for 1~2 years or even longer after surgery to recover the uterus, which indeed seems too long for many women who are eager to have children. After ultrasound ablation treatment, one normal period can be followed by a normal sexual life. 3 months – 6 months after ultrasound ablation treatment, you can start to prepare for pregnancy and prepare for the arrival of a new life.
