This is a method of treating uterine fibroids, uterine myomas by heat, the high frequency current with frequency from 350-500 kHz stimulates the molecules to move around the electrode and generates heat, which will destroy the fibroids and myometrium.

| Doctors at Cho Ray Hospital are applying high-frequency ablation to treat uterine fibroids for patients |
On the afternoon of May 25, Tu Du Hospital held a scientific conference on applying radiofrequency ablation to treat uterine fibroids and uterine myometosis (endometriosis). This is a method of treating uterine fibroids, uterine myomas with heat, the electric current of high-frequency waves with a frequency of 5-350 kHz stimulates the movement of molecules around the electrode and generates heat. and will destroy uterine fibroids, myometrium.
According to BSCKII Tran Ngoc Hai, Deputy Executive Director of Tu Du Hospital, there are now many methods to treat uterine fibroids from medical and surgical treatment such as removal of uterine fibroids, hysterectomy, to hysterectomy. minimally invasive methods: embolization (using substance injected into the blood vessel to block blood vessels feeding uterine fibroids), high-intensity focused ultrasound HIFU (using high-intensity focused ultrasound waves under localization). of MRI causing destruction of uterine fibroids), or a combination of methods to treat…
However, a new method that is being proved safe, effective, convenient and relatively economical is the method of using high-frequency waves to treat uterine fibroids, uterine myometosis for patients who want to preserve the uterus and do not agree to surgery. Radiofrequency ablation has been applied in the treatment of diseases of the thyroid gland, liver, blood vessels, etc. in Vietnam, but has not been applied to the specialty of obstetrics and gynecology.

BSCK2 Tran Ngoc Hai discussed radiofrequency ablation techniques in the treatment of uterine fibroids and endometriosis |
“The application of radiofrequency ablation to treat uterine fibroids has been approved by the FDA since 2012, and so far there have been many studies on the implementation of this technique on patients with uterine fibroids and have achieved great results. effectively reduce the size of the tumor, reduce the symptoms caused by uterine fibroids...", Doctor Tran Ngoc Hai informed and said that not all uterine fibroids and uterine myomas can be treated. can be preserved. Patients will be individually consulted and selected the most suitable treatment method.
Tu Du Hospital is the first unit to apply radiofrequency ablation to treat uterine fibroids under the guidance of ultrasound from 2021 and is officially allowed by the Department of Health of Ho Chi Minh City from January 5, 1 under the Decision to officially approve new techniques and new methods in medical examination and treatment at Tu Du Hospital. Since then, the hospital has carried out this new technique on patients with uterine fibroids but did not agree to surgery and has had many positive results.
After 12 months of follow-up after ultrasound-guided radiofrequency ablation for uterine fibroids, most of the patients had a 50% reduction in the size of the fibroids and a reduction in accompanying symptoms caused by the fibroids. This result has opened up a new direction, a new option for patients with uterine fibroids but want to preserve the uterus and do not agree to surgery.
Uterine fibroids are benign diseases of the uterine smooth muscle, affecting 20-40% of women of reproductive age. Endometriosis is a disease caused by benign invasion of the endometrial glands and stroma into the uterine muscle. Uterine fibroids and endometriosis are present in about 75% of premenopausal women, and about a third of them experience symptoms such as menstrual irregularities, dysmenorrhea, and enlargements that compress other organs such as the bladder or bowel.
