Focused ultrasound therapy for uterine fibroids

Focused ultrasound is a treatment method that uses ultrasound waves to penetrate human tissue. Focused ultrasound has the advantages of good therapeutic effect and faster postoperative recovery. Ultrasound focus is often used clinically to treat uterine fibroids. Any surgery has certain risks, and of course ultrasound focus also has certain risks, but its safety is still quite high. Let’s talk about the relevant knowledge of ultrasonic focusing.

Focused ultrasound uses the properties of ultrasound waves that can penetrate human tissue and focus on a specific target area. It concentrates the energy to a sufficient intensity to achieve instantaneous high temperature and destroy the target tissue, which manifests as coagulative necrosis in tissue pathology, thereby achieving the purpose of destroying the lesion while leaving the tissue outside the lesion area undamaged. Focused ultrasound uses ultrasound as energy to transmit many beams of ultrasound from outside the body into the body. During the transmission process, they focus on one point, the tumor. Through the conversion of sound waves and heat energy, a high-temperature treatment point of 70℃ to 100℃ is formed within 0.5 to 1 second, causing coagulative necrosis of the tumor tissue, losing its ability to proliferate, infiltrate and metastasize, and ultimately killing cervical fibroids.
