Introduction
Uterine fibroids are benign tumors formed by the proliferation of uterine smooth muscle tissue, and they are common benign tumors in women. Hysteroscopic surgery can be used for treatment. If this procedure is required, it is recommended to go to a正规 hospital and undergo the operation under the guidance of a qualified physician to ensure surgical safety. After surgery, adequate rest is important, along with maintaining good hygiene practices and avoiding spicy or irritating foods.
Generally, uterine fibroids are benign tumors formed by the proliferation of uterine smooth muscle tissue and are among the most common benign tumors in women. They can be treated with hysteroscopic surgery. The specific procedure is as follows:
1. After anesthesia, the patient is placed in the lithotomy position, and the vulva and vagina are routinely disinfected and draped.
2. A speculum is inserted into the patient's vagina to dilate it and expose the cervix, followed by re-disinfection of the vaginal and cervical areas.
3. The cervix is grasped with a cervical clamp, and the hysteroscope is inserted through the vagina into the uterus cavity. Under pressure, fluid is infused into the uterine cavity to distend the uterus.
5. Under hysteroscopic guidance, the condition of the uterine fibroid is observed and its location determined.
6. The uterine fibroid tissue is gradually resected using a resecting loop and then removed.
7. After confirming no abnormalities, the hysteroscope is withdrawn, completing the procedure.
If this procedure is required, it is recommended to go to a正规 hospital and undergo the operation under the guidance of a qualified physician to ensure safety. After surgery, adequate rest is important, along with maintaining good hygiene practices and avoiding spicy or irritating foods to promote recovery.
