Regarding "Ultrasound-guided Microwave Ablation in the Management of Symptomatic Uterine Myomas: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis"

Uterine fibroids are the most common benign tumors in the female reproductive system. Most fibroids are asymptomatic, but they can cause certain obvious symptoms, such as menorrhagia, secondary anemia, and pelvic pressure1. To date, the primary treatment methods are gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogues, myomectomy, hysterectomy and uterine artery embolization. However, the complications brought by these therapies are unacceptable to many patients. Therefore, minimally invasive and effective treatments based on the protection of the uterus have attracted more and more attention in recent years2.
