Treatment of uterine fibroids in Turkey

Uterine fibroids are benign growths in the muscle and connective tissue of the uterus. Various factors can influence the causes of uterine fibroids: hormonal imbalance, damage to uterine tissue, as well as heredity and stress. The disease is often asymptomatic, but fibroids can present with pain and bleeding. Progressive fibroids can lead to miscarriage and infertility.

Diagnosis of uterine fibroids in clinics in Turkey:

• Hydrosonography also helps to diagnose fibroids - ultrasound diagnostics using a special saline solution. In a liquid medium, it is possible to detect the presence of fibroids with a probability of close to 100%.

• Laparoscopic diagnostics are also used to identify nodes growing outside, which helps to assess their effect on neighboring organs.

• To plan the treatment of uterine fibroids abroad, Doppler ultrasound is used - an ultrasound scan using a Doppler sensor. Helps measure the speed of blood flow in the vessels and assess the condition of the veins and arteries.

• The use of computed or magnetic resonance imaging allows you to clarify the structure of the fibroid, the degree of its growth.

Only based on the results of diagnostics, doctors make an accurate diagnosis and think over a treatment plan. Turkish doctors recommend an integrated approach: the use of drugs, along with surgery.

Medicines are aimed at restoring hormonal levels, reducing bleeding and pain. Simultaneously with the therapeutic treatment, an operation is prescribed with the minimum possible intervention.

Non-invasive procedures include:

• embolization of uterine arteries 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, there is a gradual death of the fibroid.

• ultrasound removal of fibroids. It is important that when the tumor is destroyed, healthy tissue is not damaged.

• laparoscopic myolysis - destruction of fibroids using a laser or cryotherapy - freezing. It is prescribed for small tumors;

• hysteroscopic myomectomy - myoma is removed using special equipment, a hysteroscope inserted through the vagina;

For minimally invasive techniques:

• laparoscopic myomectomy - removal of the tumor through a small incision in the abdominal cavity;

• endometrial ablation;

• robotic myomectomy (by Da Vinci robot). The advantage of using them is the almost complete elimination of the human factor, reduced risk of complications and maximum reliability.

Treatment of uterine fibroids in Turkey allows you to receive highly qualified medical care using the latest technologies and equipment, along with the use of effective techniques performed by highly qualified specialists.
