(This message was added in version 6.7.0.) in /www/vivaevecom_107/public/wp-includes/functions.php on line 6121If your fibroids<\/a> cause only minor symptoms \u2013 or none at all \u2013 there may be no need to treat them. If your fibroids are not bothering you, your best option could be \u201cwatchful waiting.\u201d Your fibroids might only grow slowly or might even shrink after menopause.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n But if your fibroids do become uncomfortable and start to interfere with your daily life, go back to your doctor to discuss treatment options.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n Medications for uterine fibroids aim to treat some of the symptoms that make fibroids uncomfortable, such as heavy periods and pelvic pressure. They work by targeting the hormones that regulate your menstrual cycle. These medications won\u2019t get rid of fibroids, but they can shrink them. The possible side effects are a lot like the symptoms of menopause, like weight gain, hot flashes, mood swings, vaginal dryness and loss of libido.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n If you decide that hormone therapy is the best treatment for you, it\u2019s important to remember that if you stop taking the medications, your fibroids are likely to grow back.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n There are several types of hormone treatments and medications available for women suffering from fibroids:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n Although it\u2019s technically a surgery, FUS requires no incision and is usually done as an outpatient procedure.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n Using an MRI scanner to see the size and location of the fibroid, a doctor uses high-intensity ultrasound waves to heat parts of the fibroid, killing the tissue. The procedure can take three or four hours and you will be awake the whole time. You will probably feel a warm sensation on your belly during the procedure and some patients can experience abdominal pain, cramping or nausea following the surgery.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n After the treatment, some patients complain of cramps, shoulder or back pain that lasts a few days, but most women can go back to work within two days.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n If you want longer lasting relief from fibroids but still want minimally invasive treatment like Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE)<\/a>, you can find out more here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n If you and your doctor decide you need more aggressive surgery, learn about some of your options here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n UFE is a minimally invasive non-surgical procedure performed by an interventional radiologist.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n Fibroids need a blood supply to stay alive and grow. UFE halts and reverses the growth of fibroids by blocking their blood supply. The procedure is performed by a specialist MD called an interventional radiologist while the patient is conscious or minimally sedated, but feeling no pain. It does not require general anesthesia.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n For up to 90% of women<\/a> who choose UFE, the treatment is a success, shrinking their fibroids and also easing symptoms like heavy periods, abdominal pressure, loss of bladder control and constipation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n Using specialized tools inserted through your cervix (the canal that connects your vagina and your uterus) your doctor will destroy the lining of your uterus<\/a> with extreme cold, extreme heat, microwave energy or electric current. The treatment is mainly used to reduce heavy menstrual bleeding \u2014 in some cases, it can stop your period altogether. At the same time, the procedure can treat submucosal fibroids that are smaller than 1 inch in diameter. But it can\u2019t treat fibroids that are outside the interior lining of the uterus.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n Although endometrial ablation does work well for some women, the long-term results for treating heavy bleeding with endometrial ablation are not always predictable, and there is a relatively high rate of recurrence. patients rather frequently report that ablation had failed and that their heavy periods returned after a year or two.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n A myomectomy is when a doctor surgically removes fibroids from the patient\u2019s uterus (womb). For some women whose fibroids have made it difficult for them to have a baby, this treatment can help increase their chances of getting pregnant.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n Of all the surgical options for treating fibroids, myomectomy is the best one for women who plan to have children, because it keeps the uterus intact.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n The type of myomectomy your doctor recommends will depend on factors like the size, number and location of your fibroids.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n With an abdominal myomectomy the surgeon makes either a vertical incision, from just under your belly button to the top of your crotch, or a horizontal incision along your bikini line. It\u2019s usually used for multiple or larger fibroids<\/a> and the surgeon may need to make more than one incision.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n You will be asleep for the procedure and will probably need to stay in hospital for two nights afterward. Then you\u2019ll spend four to six weeks recovering at home.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n If your fibroids are small or you only have a few of them, your doctor might recommend removing them with a laparoscopy. This surgery only requires four small incisions, instead of the large ones used in an abdominal myomectomy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n In a laparoscopy, the surgeon inserts a laparoscope \u2014 a thin, lighted tube<\/a> with a camera at the end \u2014 through one of the incisions so they can see your ovaries, fallopian tubes and uterus. Then they put long, thin instruments through the other incisions and use those to remove the fibroids. Once your fibroids are removed, the surgeon cuts them up into pieces small enough to pull out through the incisions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n You will be asleep for the surgery and because the cuts are smaller, recovery time is shorter than with an abdominal myomectomy. Most women can leave the hospital the same day or the next day and spend two to three weeks recovering at home.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n A hysteroscopy is similar to a laparoscopy, but doesn\u2019t require any incisions<\/a>. In this type of myomectomy, the surgeon also uses a laparoscope to look inside your uterus, but inserts it into your vagina instead of through cuts in your belly. They then use specialized tools, like a wire loop, to cut off and remove the fibroids.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n This surgery is only an option for women suffering from submucosal fibroids, which grow from the wall of the uterus into the uterine cavity. Fibroids that grow inside the uterus wall or on the outside of the uterus can\u2019t be treated using a hysteroscopy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n Whichever type of myomectomy you and your doctor decide on, it might not cure your fibroids completely. The procedure might miss tiny fibroids, called seedlings, and between 42% and 55% of women<\/a> who have a myomectomy develop new fibroids later on.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n Like with any other surgery, a myomectomy can result in complications<\/a>. Although they are rare, they can include:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n A hysterectomy \u2014 when the surgeon completely removes your uterus (womb) \u2014 is the only proven cure for uterine fibroids. If you choose to have a hysterectomy, you will stop getting your period, you won\u2019t feel any more pressure in your abdomen, you will regain your bladder control and new fibroids can\u2019t grow back.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n While a hysterectomy is the most thorough treatment for fibroids, it\u2019s also the most drastic. It\u2019s a major surgery and it means you can no longer get pregnant. If you have not hit menopause yet and decide to also remove your ovaries (the organs that produce your eggs) you will experience early menopause and all of the possible symptoms that come with it, such as hot flashes, mood swings and vaginal dryness, loss of libido, etc.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n There are also several different techniques your doctor might use to perform your hysterectomy:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n In this surgery, the doctor removes the uterus through the opening of the vagina<\/a>, so there\u2019s no need to make an incision. You will be asleep for the procedure and will probably stay two nights in the hospital. Patients say they feel a lot of pain for 24 hours after the surgery and less pain for 10 days after that. Full recovery usually takes about four weeks.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n Because the uterus has to fit through the vaginal opening, a vaginal hysterectomy can\u2019t be used on anyone with an enlarged uterus.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n During this surgery, the surgeon uses a laparoscope<\/a> (a thin, lighted tube with a tiny camera at the end) to help them see inside your uterus and guide them during the procedure. The surgeon makes four small incisions \u2014 in your belly, below your bikini line and near each hip \u2014 and inserts thin surgical tools through them to cut your uterus free from your pelvic wall. The surgeon then removes your uterus through an incision in your vagina.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n You will be asleep through the procedure. Women who have an LAVH usually stay in hospital between one and three days after the surgery and then spend up to four weeks recovering at home.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n For this surgery, the surgeon removes your uterus through a large incision<\/a> that goes either vertically, from your bellybutton to your crotch, or horizontally along your bikini line.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n You will sleep through the procedure and stay in the hospital one or two days, maybe longer. Recovery at home could take six to eight weeks.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n For patients looking for a less invasive treatment, uterine fibroid embolization (UFE)<\/a> is an attractive option. And if your fibroids don\u2019t bother you much, you may be able to treat them with medication alone.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n The doctors at VIVA EVE have years of experience in the treatment of both uterine fibroids<\/a> and adenomyosis. We provide high-quality, personalized care for each and every patient we see. We\u2019ll partner with you to determine the best way to treat your problematic symptoms.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n2.
