How to treat uterine fibroids? Are women over 30 years old a high-risk group for uterine fibroids?

Uterine fibroids are the most common tumors in the female reproductive tract. According to statistics, more than 20% of women aged 30 have single or multiple fibroids of different sizes in their uterus. Most of the causes of uterine fibroids are related to the level of estrogen in the body, because uterine fibroids are common in women of childbearing age. After women of childbearing age develop uterine fibroids, the fibroids will continue to grow and develop, and after menopause, the fibroids will stop growing or even shrink.

The symptoms of uterine fibroids depend on the location and size of the fibroids. The uterine wall is composed of an inner mucosal layer, an outer serosa layer, and a middle muscle layer. Fibroids that are longer than the muscle layer will gradually grow and develop in different directions. If the tumor compresses the bladder, frequent urination or poor urination will occur, and compressing the rectum will cause poor defecation; some fibroids will also hinder the implantation of fertilized eggs, leading to infertility or miscarriage after pregnancy. The most common symptoms are the growth of fibroids under the mucosa, the expansion of the mucosal area, resulting in a shortened menstrual cycle, increased menstrual volume, and prolonged menstruation leading to anemia.

After suffering from uterine fibroids, if the tumor is small and there are no discomfort symptoms, you should go to the hospital for a check-up every 3 months and pay attention to the changes of the fibroids at any time. If the uterus is enlarged to 3 months of pregnancy due to fibroids, or if the uterus is poorly contracted, menorrhagia, and secondary severe anemia are caused by large fibroids, active treatment should be given. The surgical treatment method can be determined according to the specific situation, using a simple myomectomy or a total hysterectomy. Radiofrequency interventional therapy is to extend the therapeutic device directly from the vagina to the tumor. Under computer control, fibroid cells are dehydrated and coagulated through the biological high heat effect, and are absorbed or discharged by the body to achieve the treatment purpose. Conservative treatment is mainly the differentiation treatment of traditional Chinese medicine syndrome. Clinically, traditional Chinese medicine that promotes blood circulation, eliminates blood stasis, softens and disperses nodules is used. By improving the patient's qi stagnation and blood stasis state, uterine fibroids are reduced and symptoms are improved.
