What is the best medicine for multiple uterine fibroids? A review and treatment method

Uterine fibroids are common benign tumors in women, which have a certain impact on the patient's quality of life and fertility. So, what drugs can effectively treat uterine fibroids? This article will introduce some oral medications, traditional Chinese medicine, and surgical treatments to help patients better choose the appropriate treatment plan.

1. Oral medication: effective and convenient

1. Anti-steroid drugs

Antisteroid drugs, such as methylprednisolone and dexamethasone, can relieve symptoms by regulating hormone levels. These drugs can inhibit the growth of uterine fibroid cells and reduce the size of the tumor. However, it should be noted that antisteroid drugs should be used under the guidance of a doctor to avoid side effects.

2. Ovulation suppression drugs

Ovulation inhibitors, such as cyclosporine and progesterone, can inhibit ovarian function and estrogen synthesis, thereby blocking the nutrient supply required for fibroid growth. These drugs are often used to regulate the menstrual cycle, relieve bleeding symptoms, and reduce the size of fibroids to a certain extent. However, long-term use may cause adverse reactions such as osteoporosis.

2. Chinese medicine treatment - soothing the liver and regulating qi, regulating menstruation and relieving pain

1. Fuling Jianzhong Decoction

Fuling Jianzhong Decoction is a classic Chinese medicine prescription that has the effects of soothing the liver and regulating qi, and mild conditioning. The drugs such as Fuling and Atractylodes macrocephala in Fuling Jianzhong Decoction can improve the uncomfortable symptoms such as abdominal distension, back pain and leg pain caused by fibroids. However, Chinese medicine treatment needs to be different for each person and needs to be used under the guidance of a professional Chinese medicine practitioner.

2. Moxibustion with moxa leaves

Moxibustion is one of the traditional Chinese medicine therapies. It stimulates acupuncture points, warms the meridians, improves uterine blood circulation, and promotes the absorption and shrinkage of fibroids. Moxibustion has the advantages of simple operation and definite efficacy, but the treatment process requires persistence and patience.

3. Surgical treatment: direct resection, with obvious effect

1. Myomectomy

Myomectomy is a common surgical treatment method currently, which can remove fibroid tissue through laparotomy or laparoscopy. Surgery is suitable for patients with large fibroids and obvious symptoms. After removal, it can significantly relieve symptoms and improve quality of life. However, surgery has certain risks and may lead to postoperative complications.

2. Uterine artery embolization

Uterine artery embolization is an interventional treatment that injects drugs into the uterine artery to block the blood supply to the tumor, causing ischemia and necrosis of the tumor. This method does not require surgical resection, has minimal trauma, and is effective. However, it should be noted that this method may cause discomfort symptoms such as postoperative pain and menstrual disorders.

Conclusion: For the treatment of multiple uterine fibroids, oral medication, Chinese medicine and surgery are all feasible treatment methods. Oral medication is convenient and effective, but it needs to follow the doctor's guidance; Chinese medicine treatment varies from person to person and requires the guidance of a professional Chinese medicine practitioner; surgical treatment is a direct and effective method, but the risks of surgery and postoperative complications must be considered. For different patients, the appropriate treatment method should be selected by comprehensively considering their condition, age, symptoms and other factors. The best treatment effect requires individualized treatment under the guidance of a doctor according to individual conditions.
