How to treat uterine fibroids? How to use medication for uterine fibroids?

The incidence of uterine fibroids in women is still relatively high. Some women do not receive timely treatment after becoming ill, which leads to some adverse consequences or even malignant changes. So, how to treat uterine fibroids?

1. Conservative drug treatment. Conservative treatment is mainly for patients with less serious conditions, and is generally based on drug treatment. Conservative treatment requires certain conditions to be met, namely, the tumor does not exceed the size of a 6-week pregnancy; menopausal women are asymptomatic; near-menopausal women can reduce bleeding through non-surgical treatment; patients with uterine fibroids who cannot tolerate surgery may consider conservative treatment.

2. Surgical treatment. There are many surgical methods, including hysterectomy and uterine preservation. Patients who undergo hysterectomy generally have large fibroids, severe symptoms, ineffective conservative treatment, or malignant lesions. Uterine fibroid preservation surgery can be divided into traditional open surgery, minimally invasive surgery, and non-invasive surgery.

3. Treatment with traditional Chinese medicine. Treatment with traditional Chinese medicine can gradually eliminate simple hypertrophy of the myometrium, improve blood circulation of the hyperplastic endometrium, and soften hyperplastic connective tissue, thereby eliminating pain, regulating menstruation, stopping bleeding, and restoring ovarian function, effectively softening the tumor, controlling tumor growth, and eventually dissipating it.

4. Expectant therapy. This is mainly suitable for patients aged 40 to 50 years old who have begun to experience menopause and have mild clinical symptoms. The so-called expectant therapy is what is commonly referred to as observation in clinical practice, which does not use any drugs or other treatment methods. Gynecological internal examination and B-ultrasound examination are performed every 3 months. If the fibroids do not grow fast and have little effect on menstruation, it can be expected that the uterine fibroids will shrink with age and the decline of sex hormone levels.
