What is the best way to treat uterine fibroids?

The best method for treating uterine fibroids needs to be selected according to the specific situation of the patient. There is no universally applicable best treatment plan. The treatment methods for uterine fibroids generally include drug therapy, interventional therapy, laser therapy, surgical treatment, traditional Chinese medicine treatment, etc. The specific analysis is as follows:

1. Drug treatment: For patients with mild symptoms and small fibroids, drug treatment is usually the first choice. Gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists, mifepristone, oral contraceptives, progesterone, etc. can be used under the guidance of a doctor. These drugs can help shrink the tumor or inhibit tumor growth.

2. Interventional treatment: By inserting tiny particles into the uterine artery, the blood supply to the fibroids is blocked, causing the tumor to shrink.

3. Laser treatment: Use laser to accurately destroy uterine fibroid tissue to achieve the treatment goal.

4. Surgical treatment: For patients with larger fibroids and severe symptoms, surgical treatment is a common choice. Surgical methods include myomectomy and hysterectomy, which are suitable for patients who want to have children or whose fibroids may become malignant.

5. Traditional Chinese Medicine Treatment: Traditional Chinese Medicine often uses traditional Chinese medicine to treat uterine fibroids. Commonly used traditional Chinese medicines include Angelica sinensis, Chuanxiong, Motherwort, etc. These medicines have the effects of promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis, and regulating endocrine.

The treatment method for uterine fibroids needs to be selected according to the specific situation. During the treatment process, patients also need to pay active attention to lifestyle adjustments to achieve the best treatment effect.
