What are the treatments for uterine fibroids in women?

1. Expectant treatment: This method is mainly suitable for women aged 40 to 50 years old and near menopause. If the clinical symptoms do not include excessive bleeding, pain or other discomfort, it is necessary to observe for a period of time. What women need to know is that they should have a gynecological internal examination and B-ultrasound examination every three months. If the physical examination results show that there is no rapid tumor growth, bleeding or pain symptoms, at this time, the fibroids are shrinking day by day because the estrogen level decreases with age.

2. Drug treatment: At present, the conservative treatment for uterine fibroids is drug treatment. This treatment method can avoid the pain and sequelae of surgery on women. Drug treatment is to use Chinese herbal soup and Chinese medicine to regulate endocrine and microcirculation in the body, regulate blood and qi, and eliminate uterine fibroids from the source. However, if drug treatment is not ideal, it is necessary to consider minimally invasive or surgical treatment.

3. Surgical treatment: If the size of a female fibroid is equivalent to a uterine pregnancy of more than one and a half months, the effect of drug treatment is very small, and surgical treatment is required. Generally, surgical treatment is applicable. Fibroids grow rapidly, or the tumor protrudes from the abdominal cavity and has a tendency to twist. Surgical resection is required in a timely manner. Of course, many other issues need to be considered before surgery is determined, such as severe anemia, heart disease, and general condition. Surgery can be determined based on the size of the fibroid, the age of symptoms, and the patient's requirements for fertility. This is also the main method for treating uterine fibroids.
