According to statistics, uterine fibroids are more common in women of childbearing age between 30 and 50 years old. Among them, for about 20% of patients with uterine fibroids, they will lead to prolonged menstrual period, increased menstrual volume, and even irregular vaginal bleeding, resulting in anemia, and severe anemia will cause dizzy, weak, and decreased immunity. When uterine fibroids are too large, they can also press on neighboring organs, resulting in defecation and urination difficulties, as well as waist and leg pain, increased leucorrhea and other discomfort.
"The incidence of spontaneous abortion in pregnant women with uterine fibroids is 2 to 3 times that of non-fibroids in pregnant women," Director Li Weihong, specialist of gynecologist at Hainan Chengmei Hospital, explained that in the early stages of female pregnancy, submucosal uterine fibroids or uterine fibroids are too large and have changed the uterine cavity shape, which is not conducive to the implantation and growth of fertilized eggs, and will increase the risk of abortion.
Although the probability of malignant transformation of uterine fibroids is very low, its high incidence and high recurrence rate still bring great troubles to womens health, greatly affecting and endangering womens reproductive and physical and mental health.
Li Weihong stressed that it is usually observable when uterine fibroids are small and asymptomatic, but many patients will require medication, which is unnecessary and ineffective. However, if the uterine fibroids are rather large, or grow more quickly, or even cause abnormal bleeding and pressure and other symptoms, it is necessary to actively deal with them. Surgical treatment is usually used, although most of the current uterine fibroid surgery can be treated by laparoscopy, hysteroscopy and other minimally invasive technology, but after all, it also leaves a wound in the abdomen, and also leave a scar on the skin. Even if there is no scar in the abdomen through transvaginal surgery, there will still be wounds in the place where we cant see the pelvic cavity, and all surgeries have to be carried out under anesthesia, which will do some harm to the body. If you want to preserve the uterus and remove the fibroids alone, there is a high recurrence rate after surgery, so many patients are not willing to accept it.
In the rapid development of medical technology today, for the treatment of uterine fibroids, is there an operation to treat uterine fibroids with no blood and no scar?
In this regard, Professor Li Zhigang, Director of the Precision Diagnosis and Treatment Center of Hainan Chengmei Hospital, said taht a few days ago, Hainan Chengmei Hospital introduced a "high-energy focused ultrasound" equipment, which can achieve "three not and one none" precision treatment of no surgery, no bleeding, no anesthesia, no pain of uterine fibroids and uterine adenomyosis.
Li Zhigang has studied for a doctorate at Kyoto University in Japan, and then worked as a postdoctoral oncolologist at M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in the United States. At present, he mainly conducts cutting-edge and precision diagnosis and treatment technology services such as thermal perfusion and noninvasive ultrasound knife.
"Women are afraid of pain and love to be pretty, the uterus is womens second life, thus, protecting the uterus is to protect womens dignity and confidence.” Professor Li Zhigang said that at present, the international cutting-edge uterine fibroid treatment technology has achieved "non-invasive” effect, which can not only achieve the same treatment purposes as surgery, but also better protect the function of the uterus.
Li Zhigang introduced that the non-invasive ultrasonic knife is actually "like a knife but not a knife, but it can eliminate tumor invisibly and saliently, to achieve the same results as surgical treatment”.
The material shows that the non-invasive ultrasonic knife focuses the ultrasound on the lesion in the uterus, makes the tumor tissue coagulate necrosis through high temperature, and clears the tumor lesion, realizing the true "non-invasive" treatment mode.
"The introduction of non-invasive ultrasound technology provides a new treatment plan and treatment experience for patients with gynecological diseases, especially uterine fibroids and adenomyosis.” Professor Li Zhigang said that compared with traditional surgery, non-invasive ultrasonic knife treatment does not damage normal tissue, can retain uterine function, with short treatment time and fast postoperative recovery. It can treat multiple and recurrent uterine fibroids repeatedly. The contraceptive time after treatment would be short, and most of patients can be pregnant in 3-6 months after treatment.
It is worth mentioning that the ultrasonic wave used by the non-invasive ultrasonic knife is a safe physical wave with no radioactive damage, and the treatment is safe without radiation. Patients can play their mobile phones while treatment, and the treatment experience is very good.
Noninvasive ultrasonic knife therapy has been applied in clinical research for more than 10 years, and the technology has become increasingly mature. Internationally, non-invasive ultrasonic knife technology has relieved the troubles of uterine fibroids and uterine adenomyosis for more than tens of thousands of women.
