Knowledge on drug treatment of uterine fibroids

The drug treatment of uterine fibroids is a concern for many patients, because some patients' conditions are not too serious, they very much hope to control the disease through drug treatment and do not want to undergo surgery. You need to understand the knowledge related to the drug treatment of uterine fibroids. Let's take a look at some common sense of drug treatment.

Uterine fibroids are a special disease that is very different from other diseases, and drug treatment is generally not recommended. This is because ordinary drug treatments have limited effects and cannot be used for a long time; although hormone drugs are effective, the medication time should not exceed 6 months, otherwise the side effects will be large. Due to its mechanism of action is to inhibit the secretion of ovarian estrogen, so that the body is in a state of low estrogen levels or menopause, which leads to more serious side effects such as: dry skin, low libido, irritability, osteoporosis, etc. At the same time, the fibroids will rebound after stopping the drug, that is, the fibroids will return to the size before the medication. Therefore, we generally use it as an auxiliary medication in clinical practice, and there are strict regulations for its application:

Drug treatment for uterine fibroids is generally used as an auxiliary treatment. The following are suitable for drug treatment: The first situation is that if the patient is relatively young and hopes to get pregnant, and the uterine fibroids are not too large and affect pregnancy, this drug can be used to shrink the fibroids and achieve the purpose of pregnancy. The second situation is that the menstrual volume caused by uterine fibroids is particularly heavy and the anemia is particularly severe. It is not suitable for immediate surgery. Drugs can be used to reduce the menstrual volume. The third situation is to correct clinical symptoms before surgery and shrink the fibroids to facilitate surgery. The fourth situation is to speed up the menstrual period and shrink the fibroids faster.
