Abstract
Abstract
 Purpose: To investigate the clinical effect of interventional therapy for symptomatic uterine fibroid by transcatheter uterine artery embolization.
 Methods: 16 patients of symptomatic uterine fibroids were treated with selective uterine artery embolization, and the relief of symptoms and reduction of fibroids were observed.
 Results: Bilateral uterine artery embolization was done in 16 patients. Follow-up for 5 ~ 7 months showed that the clinical symptoms of 14 patients were obviously improved, and the reexamination of 1 patient of a super large myoma showed no obvious change after 6 months. B-Ultrasound showed that the size of the tumor was reduced by 43% ~ 92%. The major complication was being is postoperative lower abdominal pain.
 Conclusion: Uterine artery embolization is a safe and effective method to treat uterine fibroid.
Highlights
Symptomatic uterine fibroid is one of the most common benign tumor in female patients
The relatively unified view is that asymptomatic uterine fibroid generally does not need treatment
Angiographic manifestations of uterine artery blood supply: All 16 patients in this group were supplied by uterine artery, which was supplied by bilateral uterine artery
Summary
Symptomatic uterine fibroid is one of the most common benign tumor in female patients. It is most common among patient of childbearing age ranging. There are reports that the minimum age of onset is 10 to 14 years old. Pelvic pain, bladder and rectal compression symptoms and infertility caused by tumor growth seriously affect the physical and mental health of the patients. The ideal goal of treatment is to eliminate fibroid, due to the hormone correlation, site specificity, occurrence of multiple sources and other characteristics of the fibroid, the main goal of treatment should be to eliminate various symptoms caused thereby, so that symptomatic uterine fibroid becomes asymptomatic leiomyoma, regardless of the state in which uterine fibroid exists.
