Knowledge on the treatment of uterine fibroids

Among patients with uterine fibroids, there are many who have some professional medical knowledge, but most patients do not particularly understand the condition of their disease, so they need doctors or experienced people to explain more to them, and they themselves should also learn more about relevant knowledge, especially knowledge about the treatment of uterine fibroids.

1. Some patients do not need treatment. Especially for patients with mild symptoms, they generally do not need treatment, but they need to be observed. Because if the tumor is removed when it is small, but the hormone environment does not change, it will still recur. It is better to wait until the fibroids grow and clinical symptoms appear before treating them all at once, which can reduce the number of treatments. For example, if a uterine fibroid grows to 1 cm at the age of 30 and is then removed, it still grows at the age of 35 and recurs at the age of 40. It is better to wait until it grows to 4 cm before removing it when it is 1 cm, so that one less operation is required.

2. Be cautious about hysterectomy and try to keep your uterus. If you can or cannot remove the uterus, choose not to remove the uterus and choose interventional treatment or tumor removal. Compared with minimally invasive treatment, choose minimally invasive treatment. Compared with interventional treatment and myomectomy, choose interventional treatment. Among myomectomy, vaginal myomectomy is the first choice.

3. Drug treatment for uterine fibroids is only an auxiliary treatment and does not have a very good effect. Choose drug treatment carefully, because no drug has a very definite effect on the treatment of uterine fibroids, and the side effects are serious.
