Can uterine fibroids be eliminated?

Can uterine fibroids be eliminated? Uterine fibroids are a common disease among women and can cause certain harm, so female friends should pay attention to prevention and treatment methods. There are many treatment methods currently, so you should pay attention to the treatment of uterine fibroids and pay attention to active treatment methods.

1. Regular follow-up to observe the development of the patient's condition. For patients with fibroids smaller than 8 weeks of gestation and no obvious symptoms, or near-menopausal women with uteruses smaller than 12 weeks of gestation, normal menstruation, and no compression symptoms, temporary observation can be performed. Follow-up examinations should be conducted every 3 months. Generally, after menopause, due to the decrease in estrogen levels, fibroids can gradually shrink. If fibroids are found to be enlarged or symptoms are obvious during follow-up, the possibility of malignant transformation of fibroids should be considered, and surgical treatment should be performed in a timely manner.

2. The use of drugs for treatment can inhibit the progression of the disease. For patients with heavy menstrual flow and uterine enlargement to about 8 weeks of pregnancy, after diagnostic curettage to exclude endometrial cancer, Chinese medicine or Western medicine can be used for treatment. Because Western medicine often uses hormone therapy, side effects are large, and female patients are prone to male characteristics. This therapy is not recommended. Traditional Chinese medicine is a fundamental treatment method. It can achieve the purpose of tumor elimination, tumor inhibition, and recurrence control by improving the endocrine environment, reducing estrogen levels, and enhancing metabolic capacity. It is currently the first choice for patients with fibroids.

3. Therapy, which is also a relatively effective method, pay attention to the reasonable treatment method. Interventional therapy for uterine fibroids is to insert a very thin catheter into the blood supply artery of the uterine fibroids, i.e. the nutrient blood vessel, through non-surgical methods, to block the blood supply of the fibroids, causing it to lose nutrition and necrotize, shrink, or even disappear. This method has the advantages of less trauma, low cost, less pain, no need for blood transfusion during surgery, and fast recovery; the disadvantage is that it has limitations.

4. Surgical treatment: If long-term conservative treatment is ineffective, or if the symptoms are obvious, the fibroids are large, anemia is present, and the fibroids grow rapidly, surgical treatment should be considered. Due to the high cost and high risk of surgery, surgery is the only option for patients with fibroids.
