Uterine cyst drug treatment

Uterine cysts can be relieved or eliminated through drug treatment. Commonly used drugs include hormone drugs, anti-inflammatory drugs and Chinese medicine conditioning. It is very important to choose the appropriate treatment method according to the size, type and symptoms of the cyst. In addition to drug treatment, you should pay attention to daily care and take other measures according to the doctor's advice when necessary.

1). Use of hormone drugs

The formation of uterine cysts is often related to an imbalance of hormone levels in the body, so hormone drugs are a common treatment method. Anti-estrogen drugs such as danazol and drugs that inhibit ovarian function, such as gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists (GnRH-a), can help reduce estrogen levels and thus reduce the growth of cysts. At the same time, oral contraceptives can also inhibit further expansion of cysts by regulating hormone levels. However, hormone drugs may cause side effects such as irregular menstruation and hot flashes. Patients should have detailed consultations and regular follow-up before use.

2). Assistance with anti-inflammatory drugs

If the cyst is accompanied by adhesive inflammation or mild infection, antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be used to reduce the pain and discomfort caused by inflammation, such as metronidazole or cephalosporins. These drugs help relieve the local inflammatory response caused by the cyst and can also improve related chronic pelvic pain. However, anti-inflammatory drugs usually cannot directly eliminate the cyst and need to be combined with other treatments.

3). Chinese medicine conditioning to improve symptoms

In the absence of major complications or when conservative treatment is appropriate, Chinese medicine treatment is a milder option, and it is more effective for cysts caused by irregular menstruation or other gynecological problems. For example, Chinese patent medicines such as Xiaoyao Pills and Guizhi Fuling Pills can harmonize qi and blood, improve estrogen metabolism, and thus inhibit the growth of cysts. At the same time, Chinese medicine physiotherapy methods such as moxibustion and acupuncture also have a certain auxiliary effect, helping to regulate the uterine environment. However, Chinese medicine takes a long time to take effect and the efficacy varies from person to person, so it needs to be used for a long time.

4). Daily life management and other treatment suggestions

During drug treatment, patients need to maintain a healthy lifestyle, such as avoiding long periods of sitting, consuming more vitamin-rich fruits and vegetables, whole grains and other foods, and reducing the intake of sugar and high-fat foods. Regularly review the uterus with B-ultrasound to dynamically monitor changes in the cyst. If the cyst is large, drug treatment is ineffective or complications are serious, further surgical treatment may be required, such as laparoscopic removal.

Through the above measures, most patients with uterine cysts can be effectively controlled or have their symptoms significantly relieved. In order to avoid worsening of the condition, it is recommended to take medication under the guidance of a doctor and pay close attention to changes in the cysts, and choose a more effective solution if necessary.
