It goes without saying that a woman's uterus is her most important female organ. It is necessary not only to become pregnant, but it also influences her physical and subsequently mental condition for her entire life. In recent years, early detection of myoma uterus, and other ailments, can be easily diagnosed by using ultrasonic echo. 20 percent of women between the age of 30-40 are at high risk.

Though the technique for the detection of myoma uterus has greatly improved in recent years, treatment itself has remained largely unchanged for the last 20-30 years. Operative technique also remains relatively unchanged. Because the condition of myoma uterus dramatically effects surrounding tissue, operations attempting to save the uterus are very difficult.

A common type of myoma is neoplastic myoma, which changes cell structure and adheres to the surrounding tissue. Removal of myomatous knots has been a fairly standard procedure for many years. However, complications involving adherence to surrounding tissue, and recurrency of myomatous knots due to excessive myoma, makes it difficult to save the uterus.

Doctors tend to justify the removal of the uterus by telling patients that the removal of the uterus minimizes future risk of uterine cancer, while at the same time, the patient is pleased to retain her ovaries. Doctors also sometimes say that a myomectomy may lead to excessive bleeding, and the patient may need blood transfussions (and run the risk of contracting hepatitis).

As a result of these considerations, doctors and patients have, for many years, held an ongoing debate between conserving or removing the uterus. This debate also rages at the professional level. Chinese medicine and hormonic medicine often only prolong the ultimate decision for the removal of the uterus, therefore patients often side with doctors who wish to entirely remove the uterus and avoid further complications. Today most women who suffer from myoma apt to have their uterus removed.

In recent years, women who wish to bear children sometimes follow Chinese or hormonic medicine. However, severe side effects from treatment programs force patients to discontinue the treatment, and then the incidence of myoma recurrence is very high. This pulse treatment actually raises the risk of recurrency.
Yet women who apt to have their uterus removed have other problems. The removal of the uterus often induces early, or more severe, menopause. The uterus also functions to moderate blood flow and maintain estrogen and progesterone balance. Uterian removal disrupts homonic balance, and even if ovaries are retained, doctors report that ovaric function rapidly degenerates.
