What are the precautions for drug treatment of uterine fibroids

Medication is a commonly used method for treating uterine fibroids. The following aspects should be paid attention to during use.

1. Combination of Chinese and Western medicine for treatment

Western medicine is mainly used for symptomatic treatment and is generally only suitable for patients with uterine fibroids who are close to menopause and have menstrual disorders but no malignant transformation of the endometrium. Commonly used Western medicines include methyltestosterone and mifepristone.

Traditional Chinese medicine for the treatment of uterine fibroids. Traditional Chinese medicine is to regulate endocrine function and microcirculation in the body, and can achieve the effects of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, regulating qi, and fundamentally eliminating uterine fibroids, with less side effects. Generally, traditional Chinese medicine treatment can be carried out when the disease is discovered, mainly including traditional Chinese medicine decoctions and Chinese patent medicines. It should be noted that the treatment of uterine fibroids with traditional Chinese medicine is a long process. Because traditional Chinese medicine takes a long time to take effect, patients need to be prepared for long-term disease resistance.

2. Suitable population for drug treatment

Drug treatment is mainly suitable for two types of patients, namely, those who are younger than 40 years old, have smaller fibroids, have fertility requirements, and have regular menstruation. Because patients do not want to have their uterus removed too early, but are worried that the fibroids in the uterus will grow too fast and affect their health, random drug control therapy can effectively achieve the relief treatment effect; patients approaching menopause can also choose drug treatment, because drugs can not only effectively improve the menstrual disorders caused by uterine fibroids, but also promote early menopause in the body.
