Microwave Ablation for Uterine Fibroids: Safeguarding Women’s Health and Pioneering a New Era in Minimally Invasive Treatment
The Minimally Invasive Tumor Treatment Center of Gansu Wuwei Cancer Hospital, with the technical support of a top-tier domestic expert team — the team led by Professor Peng Chengzhong from Shanghai Tenth People’s Hospital, has taken the lead in the region in performing the internationally advanced "Microwave Ablation for Uterine Fibroids".
Compared with conventional surgical methods, this cutting-edge technology offers significant advantages in minimally invasiveness, precision, efficacy, and safety, providing a superior treatment option for patients with uterine fibroids.
I. Core Advantages of Microwave Ablation: Minimally Invasive, Precise, Efficient, and Long-Lasting
II. Scientific and Standardized Indications and Contraindications
(I) Recommended Indications
- Patients with Uterine Fibroids:Patients with single or multiple fibroids (recommended diameter: 2–10 cm), presenting with menorrhagia (excessive menstrual bleeding), secondary anemia, or compressive symptoms (such as urinary frequency, constipation, etc.), who have a strong desire to preserve the uterus and/or fertility, or who refuse traditional open or laparoscopic surgery.
- Patients with Adenomyosis:Patients with localized adenomyotic lesions, where the uterine size is ≤12 weeks of gestation, experiencing severe dysmenorrhea (refractory, VAS score ≥7), and for whom conservative drug therapy has been ineffective or poorly tolerated.
- Special Needs Populations:Individuals who:Have fertility plans and require uterine preservation,Have a keloid or scar-prone constitution and wish to avoid surgical incisions,Have underlying medical conditions that make them poor candidates for major surgery.
(II) Contraindications (Cases Requiring Careful Evaluation or Alternative Treatment Options):
- Suspected uterine malignancy (surgical decision-making should be based on confirmed histopathological diagnosis),
- Diffuse adenomyosis (with uterine size >14 weeks of gestation),
- Uncorrected severe coagulation disorders,
- Acute phase of genital tract infection.
III. Backed by Top-Tier Experts and Supported by Standardized Procedures
(I) Expert Technical Support
We are privileged to have the expert guidance and quality assurance provided by the team led by Professor Peng Chengzhong, Director of the Minimally Invasive Tumor Treatment Center at Shanghai Tenth People’s Hospital — one of the key contributors to several microwave ablation technical guidelines and standards.
All procedures at our hospital are performed by a dedicated surgical team led by Associate Chief Physician Su Fadie, ensuring technical consistency, standardization, and the highest quality of care.
(II) Precision Diagnostic and Treatment Workflow
1. Comprehensive Evaluation
- Initial screening at the specialized outpatient clinic (please bring ultrasound/MRI reports from within the last 3 months)→ Follow-up with 3D ultrasound, tumor markers, and other relevant examinations→ MDT (Multidisciplinary Team) consultation to develop a personalized treatment plan
2. Precise Surgery
- Fasting for only 4 hours before the procedure→ Real-time ultrasound-guided, millimeter-precise thermal ablation→ Continuous ECG monitoring throughout the procedure to ensure safety
3. Scientific Follow-Up
- Scheduled follow-up at 1, 3, and 6 months post-procedure→ Establishment of a personalized health record for long-term management→ Additional services, including fertility function assessment and pregnancy guidance
IV. Visit Information & Appointment Guidelines
Preparation Before Your Visit:
Please bring valid gynecological ultrasound reports (within the last 3 months) — transvaginal ultrasound is recommended — and/or pelvic MRI reports.
Optimal Timing for Treatment:
The recommended optimal window for treatment is 3 to 7 days after the end of your menstrual period.
