How to treat uterine fibroids without surgery?

  Uterine fibroids, known as the “first tumor of obstetrics and gynecology”, are the most common gynecological tumor in women of reproductive age, and the incidence of uterine fibroids in women over 30 years old is as high as 20% to 30%.  In the past, uterine fibroids were mainly removed surgically, but young patients are eager to preserve uterine function and improve their quality of life. Now with a new interventional treatment method DD uterine artery embolization for uterine fibroids, patients can eliminate tumors and lesions without surgery and avoid the pain of uterine removal, making the dream of doctors and patients for many years a reality.  Compared to surgically treated fibroids, women treated with uterine artery embolization have shorter hospital stays, less trauma, faster recovery, fewer complications, better outcomes, preservation of uterine function and normal fertility, and no interference with other treatments after treatment.  The treatment principle of interventional embolization: 1, can directly cut off the blood supply of fibroids: the tumor ischemic necrosis, gradually shrink and become smaller, and improve the symptoms of compression caused by the occupancy of fibroids.  2.Uterine fibroids are sex hormone dependent: estrogen can promote the growth of fibroids. Cutting off the blood supply to the fibroids can block estrogen from entering the fibroids through blood flow, and the estrogen level of the fibroids will drop significantly, forming a local hormonal environment similar to menopause, and the fibroids will shrink further.  3. Anemia is restored: After uterine artery embolization, the blood supply to the uterus decreases significantly, the endometrial growth is inhibited and the menstrual volume decreases, and the menstrual period returns to normal. Anemia is gradually improved and restored.  Indications: 1. Symptomatic uterine fibroids or asymptomatic but with a tumor diameter of about 2-10 cm.  2.Patients with uterine fibroids who are unwilling to undergo surgical treatment.  3.Uterine fibroids combined with heart disease, diabetes and other hysterectomy surgery risk.  The advantages of interventional treatment: 1. It can preserve the uterine functions intact, such as normal menstruation, pregnancy and delivery, and does not affect conception; it avoids the traumatic blow of surgery and a series of postoperative complications, and the effect of symptom improvement is comparable to that of surgery.  2.Fast recovery due to less trauma: short hospitalization time makes it easy for patients to accept.  3.Simple and economic: save money. Blood transfusion is generally not needed.  The advantage of this treatment is that it leaves a lot of room for you, and even if embolization fails, you can still apply surgery and drug treatment. Uterine artery embolization therapy shows great potential and unique advantages in the treatment of symptomatic uterine fibroids.
