Early Treatment of Uterine Fibroids | Aegis Roen HIFU Center
Page content
A uterine fibroid is a benign tumor that grows in the smooth muscle that makes up the uterine wall.
Grows deep inside the muscle wall of the uterus.
It enlarges the uterus and the area of the uterine lining,
which makes periods heavier.
Causes the most complications. Even a small one can cause bleeding.
It has a higher risk of sarcomatous change, is prone to infection, pus formation
and tissue death, and does not respond well to radiation.
Grows just under the outer layer covering the uterus.
It can hang down and form a stalk.
Fibroids are very common and affect
40–50% of women over 35. They usually shrink after menopause and new fibroids
rarely appear, but fibroids that persist may still be found after menopause.
Fibroid prevalence (Health Insurance Review & Assessment Service): up about 20% in the last 5 years
increasing in young unmarried women in their 20s?
Statistics show that more young women in their 20s and 30s have uterine conditions such as fibroids, adenomyosis
and endometriosis.
Rates are rising fast in women in their 20s and 30s.
Many are not aware of uterine disease and skip regular check-ups,
and they dismiss severe period pain or back pain as ordinary PMS,
missing the right time for treatment.
The cause of fibroids is not yet known. There are several possible explanations:
-
Genetics
If someone in your family
has fibroids, your risk
may be higher. -
Female hormones
Persistently high levels of the female hormone
estrogen are involved in fibroid growth
and can lead to fibroids. -
Irregular eating habits
A Western-style diet high in fat
can raise
estrogen levels in the body and
may lead to fibroids. -
Stress
A lot of stress
can make periods irregular and harm
the health of the uterus.
Most fibroids cause no symptoms and are found by chance, but some women have sudden
uterine bleeding, heavy periods, lower belly discomfort or bloating.
-
Pain
Severe period pain, pelvic pressure and pain,
nerves pressed by the enlarged uterus -
Bleeding
Heavy periods, unexplained bleeding,
anemia from ongoing bleeding -
Infertility
Problems with implantation due to bleeding in the uterus,
repeated early miscarriage
can make future pregnancy and childbirth impossible.
Early Treatment of Uterine Fibroids | Aegis Roen HIFU Center If an unmarried woman's gynecologic ultrasound shows fibroids or another uterine condition,
she should decide on treatment with a specialist. Treating it with surgery such as removal of the fibroid or the uterus can make future pregnancy and childbirth impossible.
Surgery that removes the whole uterus
because the fibroid is large
Surgery that removes the fibroid with instruments
through small cuts
instead of a large abdominal incision
Surgery that removes
the fibroid itself
The Roen AI-assisted HIFU program preserves the uterus, is safer than surgery, keeps pregnancy and childbirth possible, and involves no incision or bleeding
Artificial Intelligence HIFU System
High-resolution MRI images and real-time ultrasound images
are combined into a 3D view that tracks
the uterus and tumor as they move with the patient's breathing and body movement,
so that high-intensity focused ultrasound energy treats them safely.
Artificial Intelligence Check up System
For accurate diagnosis of tumors in the uterus,
To follow every possible change during recovery after HIFU,
we run a specialized uterine check-up program
for ongoing follow-up.

Key points
Preserves the uterus, safer than surgery, keeps pregnancy and childbirth possible, with no incision or bleeding:
the Roen AI-assisted HIFU program
HIFU keeps the uterus instead of removing it and uses high-intensity ultrasound heat to destroy the tumor. Unlike open or laparoscopic surgery,
you can return to daily life quickly after treatment.
It is popular with unmarried women diagnosed with benign fibroids, women planning pregnancy, and working women.
-
The power of focused ultrasound treatment
A treatment using high-intensity focused ultrasound
energy that is harmless to the body. -
Highly efficient, precisely focused treatment
It preserves the uterine lining and surrounding tissue
while focused ultrasound precisely
destroys the lesion. -
Preserves the endometrium; destroyed tissue is absorbed
Without incision or bleeding, only the fibroid tissue
is precisely targeted and destroyed for a more
complete treatment.
Real Story I first introduced HIFU for uterine fibroids ∙ adenomyosis
to achieve successful treatment.

She came for HIFU because of vaginal bleeding, heavy periods and a giant fibroid she could feel in her belly.
MRI before HIFU showed a 14 cm giant fibroid with a rich blood supply pressing on the spine and abdominal wall. HIFU treats only the fibroid,
and the whole fibroid was treated with HIFU. Treating the 14 cm giant fibroid took 164 minutes.
(Uterine Myoma Hifu treatment time 164min)
Personalized aftercare plan = MRI-integrated HIFU at its core
Aegis Roen OB-GYN plans care around each patient's life stage after treatment. So that patients
and their families can feel at ease, we run a structured aftercare program, including an aftercare plan, regular check-ups and follow-up
monitoring.
-
Assessment and treatment
Before treatment, we check whether a lesion could become malignant
and look for hidden malignant lesions. -
Treatment review and aftercare plan
After treatment, we explain the results, review them objectively
and make an aftercare plan. -
Regular check-up monitoring
We combine ultrasound and MRI images
to monitor your progress after treatment. -
Follow-up care
Based on the aftercare plan, we check at set intervals (from 1 week to 1 year after treatment)
how much the treated lesion has been absorbed and whether there is a risk of recurrence.
1:1 personalized consultation and treatment plan
Knowing the patient's condition and the treatment plan before HIFU
eases worry and helps patients and families feel calm, which improves the treatment result.
Furthermore, subjective satisfaction levels may vary among individuals. Therefore, please consult with a specialist.
