Laparoscopic surgery is an option for uterine fibroids, but multiple fibroids and a large uterus may require open surgery, as determined by the surgeon. Indications for open surgery for uterine fibroids include the following: 1. Uterine fibroids cause abnormal bleeding, excessive menstruation, secondary anemia, and patients who are ineffective in drug treatment. 2. Uterine fibroids are too large in size and compress the bladder and rectum, causing frequent urination, difficulty in urination, lower abdominal distension, constipation and other conditions. 3. Uterine fibroids cause infertility or repeated miscarriage. 4. Uterine fibroid grows faster or the tumor continues to grow after menopause, which is suspected to have malignant tendency. When fibroid patients have the above indications for surgery, they should follow the doctor’s advice and actively cooperate with surgery and other treatments. It should be noted that not all patients with uterine fibroids are suitable for surgical treatment, such as those suffering from severe blood clotting disorders, serious medical diseases and so on.
