Abstract:
Objective:To analyze the clinical efficacy of high intensity focused ultrasound in the treatment of uterine fibroids.Methods: HIFU was used in 15 patients(27uterine leiomyoma). Observe the change of patients after treatment, such as abdominal pain, irregular bleeding, menorrhagia, menostaxis. Then ultrasound imaging of uterine fibroid size change.Results: Thirteen cases of abdominal pain after treatment were improved, the effective rare was 81.82%; for irregular bleeding was 83.33%, menorrhagia was 81.82%, menstrual extension were 75%. 13 cases of 27 fibroids after 25±5d ultrasound review, there were no obvious change in the size of fibroid. 11 cases of 24 fibroids after 60±5d ultrasound review, 21 of them have no obvious change; total rate is 87.5%(21/24). There were 2 fibroid increases slightly about 10% of diameter, that’s 8.33% of total (2/24). 1 fibroid shrank about 15%, that’s 4.17%(1/24).Conclusion: HIFU treatment of uterine fibroids can achieve better clinical results, but not significantly reduce fibroids. Therefore, HIFU is a new treatment option for patient who preserves the uterus and fertility preserving ability, drug conservative treatment is invalid, cannot tolerate operation or fibroid recurrence.
