HIFU vs Surgery for Fibroids
Choosing the right treatment for fibroids is an important decision. While surgery has long been the traditional option, newer approaches like HIFU now offer a non-invasive alternative with less disruption to your body and daily life. Understanding how these options compare can help you make a more informed choice based on your needs, comfort, and long-term goals.
| Feature | HIFU (Non-Invasive Treatment) | Surgery (Myomectomy / Hysterectomy) |
|---|---|---|
| Procedure Type | Non-invasive, no cuts or incisions | Invasive, requires surgical incisions |
| How It Works | Focused ultrasound energy destroys fibroid tissue | Fibroids or uterus are surgically removed |
| Anaesthesia | Minimal or none | General or spinal anaesthesia required |
| Blood Loss | None | Moderate to high risk of bleeding |
| Pain Level | Mild discomfort | Moderate to significant post-operative pain |
| Hospital Stay | Outpatient, same-day discharge | May require hospital admission |
| Recovery Time | 1 to 3 days | 2 to 6 weeks (or more depending on procedure) |
| Scarring | No visible scars | Visible surgical scars possible |
| Risk of Complications | Low | Higher (infection, adhesions, complications) |
| Uterus Preservation | Preserves the uterus | May remove uterus (especially hysterectomy) |
| Return to Daily Life | Very quick | Delayed due to healing period |
| Suitability | Ideal for selected fibroid cases | Suitable for broader or more complex cases |
