I. What is uterine fibroids?
Uterine fibroid is a kind of benign tumor common in female reproductive system, which is usually found in women aged 30-50 years old, and most common in 40-50 years old. It is mainly composed of proliferation of smooth muscle cells in the uterus with a small amount of fibrous connective tissue in between. According to the data, more than 40% of women over 35 years old have uterine fibroids, but most patients fail to detect them because they are small and asymptomatic.
What are the types of fibroids?
According to the location of fibroids, they are divided into: uterine body fibroids and cervical fibroids.
According to the relationship between fibroids and the uterine wall, they can be divided into: interstitial fibroids, subplasmic fibroids, and submucosal fibroids.
What are the causes of uterine fibroids?
The cause is not very clear, but it is related to the long-term stimulation of estrogen. Modern medicine believes that the occurrence of uterine fibroids is related to estradiol, which is an important factor in the growth of fibroids.
Can uterine fibroids become malignant?
Domestic data show that 0.4%-0.8% of uterine fibroids have the possibility of sarcoma transformation. If the fibroids increase rapidly in a short period of time or with irregular vaginal bleeding, the possibility of sarcoma should be considered; if the fibroids increase in post-menopausal women, they should be more alert to the occurrence of malignant change.

7.How does the hysteroscope treat uterine fibroids?
It is a new non-invasive (no incision, no puncture) local physiotherapy treatment for fibroids. By focusing high-intensity ultrasound from outside the body on the fibroids inside the body, relying on the mechanism of high temperature and cavitation effect generated by high-intensity ultrasound in the focal area, it causes coagulative necrosis of fibroid tissues to achieve the purpose of local inactivation of fibroids and stop further growth of fibroids. The necrotic tissues can be gradually absorbed or fibroticized to make the fibroids shrink and become smaller, so as to reduce or alleviate the corresponding symptoms caused by the fibroids.
