Dr. Paul Swain. - The Treatment of uterine Fibroids by abdominal section. (British Medical Journal., 21 / VII, 1894, p. 116), Treatment of uterine fibroids by gastrointestinal surgery

There was a time when women with uterine fibroids were left without surgical assistance. Experienced doctors certify that many women who suffered from uterine fibroids recovered without surgery. Subperitoneal or interstitial tumors, further huge in size, are often not accompanied by any severe seizures; small tumors often disappear during pregnancy. Submucous tumors burst into polyps or, after a spontaneous rupture of their bursa, are excreted in pieces. With the onset of climacteric age, many of these tumors atrophy.
