How to treat uterine fibroids? The main treatment methods for uterine fibroids

At present, there are four main treatments for uterine fibroids with good clinical efficacy, which can help patients with uterine fibroids to control the deterioration of the disease in time and are very beneficial to patients with uterine fibroids. What are the main treatments for uterine fibroids? The following are the main treatments for uterine fibroids.

The main treatments for uterine fibroids are:

1. Radiotherapy: This treatment method for uterine fibroids is used for patients who are ineffective with drug treatment, have contraindications for surgery or refuse surgical treatment. But there are also some contraindications.

2. Expected treatment: Myoma is small, asymptomatic, without complications, without degeneration, and has no impact on health. Perimenopausal patients have no clinical symptoms, and considering that myoma may shrink or shrink after ovarian function declines. Expected treatment can be used for the above situations, that is, regular follow-up observation of clinical and imaging (once every 3 to 6 months). Treatment is decided based on the review results.

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

4. Surgical treatment: For patients with fibroids, 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, people under 50 years old should retain their ovaries.

Normal ovaries of women who have not reached menopause after the age of 50 should also be retained, regardless of age. Because the ovaries still have certain endocrine functions after normal menopause and must work for 5 to 10 years. Retaining the ovaries helps hide the autonomic nerves, regulate metabolism, and facilitate the transition to the elderly. The uterus also has its endocrine function and is the target organ of the ovaries, so it should not be removed at will. This is also a common method for treating uterine fibroids.
