Analysis of the most effective treatment methods for uterine fibroids

Clinically, the treatment of uterine fibroids is not very difficult. As long as the correct treatment method is chosen, uterine fibroids can be cured in a very short time, which is very beneficial for patients with uterine fibroids. What are the common treatment methods for uterine fibroids ? The following is a discussion of the common treatment methods for uterine fibroids.

In general, common treatments for uterine fibroids include:

1. Drug treatment: There are many new developments in drug treatment. This is a common treatment for uterine fibroids.

2. Surgical treatment: For patients with myoma, the age for hysterectomy was previously set at over 45 years old. Now it seems that we should proceed from reality, especially according to the progress of gynecological endocrinology. The age for ovarian preservation is generally 50 years old (the average age of menopause is 49.5 years old), that is, those under 50 years old who can preserve their ovaries should do so. Or the normal ovaries of those who have not reached menopause after 50 years old should also be preserved, regardless of age. Because the ovaries still have certain endocrine functions after normal menopause and will work for 5 to 10 years. Preserving the ovaries helps stabilize the autonomic nerves, regulate metabolism, and facilitate the transition to old age. The uterus also has its endocrine function. It is the target organ of the ovaries and should not be removed casually. Usually, the age for hysterectomy is set at over 45 years old. Those under 45 years old, especially those under 40 years old, should undergo myomectomy. For those who retain the adnexa, if both sides can be preserved, it is better to retain both sides than to retain only one side. The incidence of ovarian cancer in those who retain the ovaries is 0.15%, which is not higher than that in those who do not have their uterus removed. This is one of the more common treatments for uterine fibroids.

3. Expectant therapy: This treatment method for uterine fibroids is suitable for patients with small fibroids, no symptoms, no complications, no degeneration, and no impact on health. For perimenopausal patients with no clinical symptoms, it is considered that ovarian dysfunction may cause fibroids to shrink or shrink. Expectant therapy can be adopted for all the above situations, that is, regular follow-up observation (once every 3 to 6 months) in clinical and imaging aspects. The treatment will be decided based on the review results.

The above analysis is the common treatment method for uterine fibroids. I hope it will be helpful to everyone. Patients should choose the appropriate treatment method for uterine fibroids according to their actual condition. They must not choose blindly, which will be detrimental to their condition.
