Cost of uterine fibroids treatment

At the early stages, it's impossible to determine this pathology by symptoms. A gynecologist can detect a node larger than 1.5 cm. Such a tumor does not affect the body and has no clinical signs.

More dangerous are middle-sized, or large-sized uterine fibroids are more dangerous.They increase the uterus, disrupt the menstrual cycle and the intensity of bleeding, and affect the work of neighboring organs.

To confirm the diagnosis, a woman should have a consultation with a gynecologist, manual examination, cervix examination. Additional tests can be appointed:

  • ultrasound (transvaginal, transabdominal);
  • laboratory blood tests;
  • test for oncomarkers;
  • MRI;
  • endometrial biopsy;
  • hysteroscopy.

Why is it important to diagnose uterine fibroids in time?

The fibroid node can grow on average up to 5mm per year without proper treatment. If the uterine fibroids develop at a quick rate (it increases 30% in a year), it requires immediate surgical intervention. Advanced stage of the disease leads to infertility or the complete removal of the uterus.

Small nodes (up to 2.5 - 3cm) require constant monitoring and hormonal contraceptives taking. This approach will control the growth of a tumor and possible pregnancy. Under the supervision of a doctor, a woman can have a full life and become a mother.

Despite the effectiveness of modern non-invasive methods for treating uterine fibroids, the results of this kind of treatment are not thoroughly investigated. Timely detection of a tumor allows a woman to maintain physical and psychological health, give birth to healthy children.

Where to treat uterine fibroids?

The main methods of treatment of uterine fibroids in the large hospitals in Germany, Israel, Turkey and other countries apply remote non-invasive methods of treatment, such as high intensity focused ultrasound ablation (HIFU) and uterine artery embolization. These methods preserve the reproductive function and remove the fibroids without longtime rehabilitation and postoperative sutures. The hormone therapy is used only as a presurgical treatment to reduce a tumor temporarily.

For the uterine fibroids treatments, doctors apply minimally invasive organ-saving operations:

  • laparoscopic (through the holes in the abdominal membrane);
  • hysteroscopic (through the vagina).
The only 100% method of treating fibroids is a hysterectomy. It is complete removal of the uterus. In all other cases, there is a risk of re-development of a tumor.
