What should I do if I have uterine fibroids? How to treat uterine fibroids?

What should you do if you have uterine fibroids? Of course, we know that the treatment of any disease depends on the condition and the patient's own situation. For this disease, because it is a benign tumor, experts generally will not let patients undergo surgery. But under what circumstances does this disease require surgery and does it not require surgery? The following experts will explain in detail for you.

1. Expected treatment: Regular follow-up observation is suitable for most patients with fibroids, uterine gestation less than 10 weeks, asymptomatic uterine fibroids, especially near-menopausal women, as fibroids are expected to shrink naturally after menopause. Check every 3-6 months. If the uterine fibroids are significantly enlarged or there are symptoms of menorrhagia or compression, please feel free to perform surgery.

2. Drug treatment: There are many drugs for treating uterine fibroids, but so far, no drug can cure uterine fibroids. Most drugs will shrink or eliminate fibroids during treatment, but they often recur after stopping the drug. Commonly used Western medicines include Norled, Diphylline, Premeditated, Mifepristone and traditional Chinese medicine.

3. Surgical treatment: The scope of surgery for uterine fibroids includes myomectomy, total hysterectomy and subtotal hysterectomy. The surgical method can be performed through laparotomy, vaginal, laparoscopic or hysteroscopy. Among them, myomectomy is suitable for young people, especially those who still want to have children, but myomectomy often recurs after resection, so it is not suitable for people with more fibroids, older age, obvious symptoms, and no need to have children.

4. Other treatment methods: Interventional treatment: The fibroids are embolized to constrict the nutrient vessels; Autocoagulation treatment: A special instrument is inserted into the fibroids for electrocoagulation to absorb the necrosis of the fibroids.
