Treatments for uterine fibroids mainly include surgical treatment and drug therapy. Surgery is still the most commonly used treatment for uterine fibroids. It is mainly divided into hysterectomy and myomectomy. Hysterectomy: If there are surgical indications, no need to preserve fertility or suspected malignant changes, hysterectomy is feasible. Since cervical cancer may occur after subtotal hysterectomy, the treatment of residual cancer is very difficult.

Therefore, total hysterectomy is recommended for most patients. Cervical smear cytology should be performed before surgery to eliminate malignant cervical lesions. Premenopausal women can retain both adnexa and consider removing both adnexa at the same time after menopause. Myomectomy: Myomectomy can be considered for patients ≤40 years old who wish to maintain fertility or who do not want to remove the uterus. Before surgery, vaginal examination B should be performed to fully understand the size, location and number of fibroids, and choose the appropriate method (laparotomy, laparoscopy, hysteroscopy or negative) for myomectomy.

Drug treatment is generally short-term treatment, mainly suitable for patients with uterine fibroids who have surgical indications. Preoperative medication can correct anemia, reduce the size of the uterus, avoid intraoperative bleeding, and reduce surgical difficulties; menopausal women with a uterus smaller than 10 weeks of pregnancy and mild symptoms; patients with surgical contraindications due to other complications. Due to the side effects of drugs, long-term use is not recommended.
