However, in the face of large diameter type 2 submucosal myoma, patients are at greater risk of complications such as uterine perforation and fluid overload during hysteroscopy. When the diameter of type 2 submucous myoma is greater than 4cm, the three-phase treatment of high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), drugs and hysteroscopy is effective and safe. We shared a case of a 30-year-old non-pregnant woman, who had a history of uterine submucous myoma for more than 4 years with symptoms of heavy menstruation, prolonged menstruation and secondary severe anemia. The patient's initial pelvic magnetic resonance results suggested a type 2 uterine submucous myoma with a diameter of more than 4cm. We first performed HIFU on the patient, followed by the patient's oral intake of mifepristone tablets for 3 months, and prior to hysteroscopic surgery, the patient's fibroid type was shifted to type 0, and finally successfully completed hysteroscopic myomectomy (HM). Finally, we conclude that when the diameter of type 2 submucosal myoma exceeds 4 cm, preoperative application of HIFU combined with drug treatment should be considered to maximize the reduction of fibroids, improve symptoms such as anemia and dysmenorrhea, reduce the time required for hysteroscopic surgery, and improve the safety of surgery.</p>","PeriodicalId":14356,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Women's Health","volume":"17 ","pages":"2401-2412"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-08-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12333630/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144816597","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It may develop subserous, intramural, or submucous. The submucous subtype accounts for 5% of all cases, and it may become pedunculated or prolapse outside the uterine cavity, resulting in vaginal bleeding and pelvic pain, significantly impacting the quality of life, especially for larger leiomyomas. The management of such cases may require vaginal access, which may disrupt hymen integrity and is not accepted in conservative communities. Here, we present an innovative hymen-conserving Laparoscopic-And-Suprapubic Hysteroscopic Approach (LASHA) via anterior colpotomy and myomectomy for endometrial cavity exploration and management of a prolapsed pedunculated cervicovaginal leiomyoma in a virgin patient. A 30-year-old virgin presented to the clinic with heavy menstrual bleeding for the past 6 months. Abdominal ultrasound showed an enlarged uterus with multiple uterine myomas; the largest one was in the cervicovaginal zone, filling the vagina, showing a solid hypo-echoic mass, well delineated, filling the vaginal margins, and suggesting a prolapsed, pedunculated cervicovaginal leiomyoma (5.7x6.6x 8.3 cm). Other subserosal and intramural myomas ranged from 2 to 7 cm. The LASHA approach was decided to preserve the hymen's integrity based on the patient's desire, resulting in a successful tumor excision. In summary, the LASHA approach of a prolapsed, pedunculated cervicovaginal leiomyoma is an adequate, safe, and socially accepted alternative in conservative societies. Therefore, the indications of laparoscopy could be extended to endometrial cavity exploration and managing cervicovaginal leiomyoma in virgin women rejecting vaginal approaches.
