About Uterine fibroids

Understand the condition, common triggers and treatment options that may require specialist assessment.

Disease Introduction

Uterine fibroids are the most common benign tumors in women of reproductive age, often causing increased menstrual flow, dysmenorrhea, pressure sensation, and infertility. Currently, various options are available, such as non-invasive ablation, minimally invasive resection, or medication, while preserving the uterus.

Cutting-edge high-precision diagnostic and treatment technologies

  1. Focused Ultrasound Ablation : The original Chinese HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound Ablation) technique has been included in the 2025 FIGO Best Practice Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Uterine Fibroids. It uses external focused ultrasound to ablate fibroids without surgery, puncture, or bleeding, and patients can try to conceive about 3 months after the procedure.
  2. Magnetic resonance guided ablation : MR-guided high-intensity focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) can measure temperature in real time and ablate fibroids precisely according to the image. A 12-month follow-up showed that menorrhagia and compression symptoms were significantly improved, and it does not damage the normal myometrium of the uterus or affect subsequent fertility.
  3. Image-guided embolization : Uterine artery embolization (UAE/UFE) involves superselectively blocking the blood supply artery of the fibroid through a catheter, causing it to become ischemic and necrotic, and gradually shrinking. In more than 80% of suitable patients, the increased menstrual flow and compression symptoms are significantly relieved. It is a classic minimally invasive endovascular treatment without abdominal incision.
  4. Oral new drug treatment : Internationally, a new class of oral GnRH receptor antagonists (such as relugoli combined with estrogen and progesterone replacement therapy) are used to control increased menstrual flow and shrink fibroids; similar generic drugs and indications in China are still in the clinical trial stage and have not yet been approved for marketing.
