Other common gynecological surgeries include traditional open abdominal surgery and vaginal surgery. Open abdominal surgery is a traditional "open" abdominal surgery commonly used to remove the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, fibroids, or as part of cancer surgery. Patients usually need to stay in the hospital for several days after surgery. When doctors treat pelvic diseases, they choose between open abdominal or vaginal surgery depending on the location, size, and number of tumors or the shape of the affected area. It is recommended to communicate fully with the doctor during the consultation and choose the best treatment method together.
Another new non-invasive technology is High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU), which focuses ultrasound on a specific target and generates a temperature above 60°C to kill cells. By repeatedly transferring the focal point, most fibroids can be necrotised without damaging surrounding organs. HIFU is commonly used to treat uterine fibroids and adenomyosis.
After undergoing gynecological surgery, it is important to take extra care, such as keeping the wound clean and dry and avoiding vigorous exercise or heavy lifting. If there is any discomfort, seek medical attention immediately.
