Key points for the treatment of uterine fibroids

Uterine fibroids are sex hormone-dependent tumors that can shrink or disappear as sex hormones in the body decrease. They rarely become malignant. Therefore, the treatment of uterine fibroids is based on the patient's age, fertility requirements, symptoms, and the location, size, and number of the fibroids. Below we will briefly introduce the key points of uterine fibroid treatment .

The treatment of uterine fibroids can be divided into the following three aspects:

1. General treatment : Myomas are small and asymptomatic, especially in women near menopause, with low sex hormone levels, and myomas can shrink or gradually disappear. Follow-up should be conducted every 3 to 6 months. If the uterine fibroids continue to grow or obvious symptoms appear, further treatment of uterine fibroids should be considered.

2. Drug treatment : Uterine fibroids are less than 2 months of gestational uterus, with mild symptoms, near menopause age or systemic conditions, and are not suitable for surgical treatment. Androgens can resist estrogen, shrink the endometrium, enhance the contraction of uterine smooth muscle and reduce bleeding for young people who want to retain reproductive function. For those of childbearing age who have infertility or miscarriage due to fibroids, drug treatment can shrink the fibroids and promote conception and fetal survival.

3. Surgical treatment : It is suitable for patients under 50 years old with larger tumors, suspected degeneration, and heavy bleeding. The choice of surgical method depends on the specific situation. If there is no fertility requirement, partial or complete hysterectomy can be performed. This is the most thorough and reliable treatment for uterine fibroids.
