Abstract

Objectives: To evaluate the results of treatment of uterine fibroids by Radio Frequency Ablation (RFA) at Hanoi Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital, Vietnam (HOGH) during 6 months. Materials and Methods: Patients with symptomatic uterine fibroids including abnormal uterine bleeding, pelvic pain, anemia; in need of preserving fertility; without any RFA contra-indications. A cross-sectional study with longitudinal follow-up. Results: 18 patients with 20 fibroids were met with the study’s inclusion criteria. The average fibroid size was 4.6±1.3 cm. 77,8% of patients having anemia. Average thermal ablation time was 12.2±4.1 minutes. Fibroids’ size decreased 43.6% after 1 month, 69.6% after 3 months and 83.6% after 6 months. Menstrual disorders and pelvic discomfort were considerably improved after 1month and 3 months. Conclusions: RFA had good initial results in reducing fibroids size and improving relating symptoms during the study period.
