Treatment of uterine fibroids abroad includes effective methods, new equipment and highly professional specialists. That is why many Russian patients with this disease seek clinics in Israel, Germany, the USA, and Korea.
Diagnosis of uterine fibroids abroad
As the fibroids progress, they increase in volume and put a lot of strain on the uterus. This can lead to miscarriage, heavy bleeding and infertility. Timely and accurate examination is a way to avoid negative consequences and find the best way to treat fibroids abroad.
The main diagnostic method is ultrasound of the pelvic organs. Using this procedure, you can detect the location of myomatous nodes, assess their size, structure, and number.
Hydrosonography, an ultrasound diagnosis using a special saline solution, also helps to diagnose fibroids. In a liquid medium, it is possible to detect the presence of fibroids with a probability of about one hundred percent.
Laparoscopic diagnostics is also used to identify nodes growing from the outside and helps to assess their effect on neighboring organs.
To plan the treatment of uterine fibroids abroad, Dopplerography is used — ultrasound using a Doppler sensor. It helps to measure the blood flow rate in blood vessels and assess the condition of veins and arteries.
The use of computer or magnetic resonance imaging makes it possible to clarify the structure of fibroids and the degree of their growth.
With the help of a correct diagnosis, foreign specialists are able to correctly assess the optimal amount of intervention and confirm or refute the conclusion of Russian doctors.
Treatment of uterine fibroids
Treatment of uterine fibroids abroad is usually comprehensive, involving both the use of medications and surgical intervention.
Foreign specialists, as a rule, prefer non-invasive operations:
- Uterine artery embolization is the newest method of treatment of uterine fibroids abroad. A drug is injected into the femoral artery that blocks the blood supply to the tumor. Due to this, fibroids gradually die off.;
- FUSO-ablation is the ultrasound removal of fibroids. It is important that healthy tissues are not damaged when the tumor is destroyed.;
- Laparoscopic myolysis is the destruction of fibroids using laser or cryotherapy - freezing. It is prescribed for small tumor sizes.;
- Hysteroscopic myomectomy — fibroids are removed using special equipment, a hysteroscope inserted through the vagina.;
- Laparoscopic myomectomy is the removal of a tumor through a small incision in the abdominal cavity.
Treatment of uterine fibroids abroad also involves the use of robotic surgical systems, such as Da Vinci robots. The advantage of using them is the almost complete elimination of the human factor, reduced risks of complications and maximum reliability.
