What are the treatments for uterine fibroids?

The treatment of uterine fibroids is a disease that women are familiar with. It is a benign tumor. If treated early, it will not be life-threatening, but if not treated in time, it will lead to cancer. Pay attention to reasonable and active treatment methods and methods for uterine fibroids.

1. Perform regular postoperative examinations to promptly detect any abnormalities in physical condition. If the fibroid is smaller than 8 weeks of gestation and has no obvious symptoms, or if the uterus of a near-menopausal woman is smaller than 12 weeks of gestation and has normal menstruation and no compression symptoms, temporary observation is required. Second, follow-up examinations should be conducted every three months. Since estrogen levels decrease after menopause, fibroids can be reduced and gradually shrink. If the fibroid is found to be enlarged or the symptoms are obvious during follow-up, the possibility of malignant transformation of the fibroid should be considered, and surgery should be performed in a timely manner.

2 Pay attention to appropriate treatment methods, multiple methods. For patients with heavy menstrual flow and uterine enlargement for about 8 weeks, after diagnostic curettage to exclude endometrial cancer, Chinese and Western medicine can be used for treatment. Because Western medicine often uses hormone therapy, it has great side effects and female patients are prone to male characteristics. This therapy is not recommended. Traditional Chinese medicine is a fundamental treatment method that improves the endocrine environment, reduces estrogen levels, and enhances metabolism to achieve swelling, swelling suppression, and control recurrence. It is the first choice for patients with fibroids.

3 Pay attention to the appropriate method, symptomatic treatment is more important. Interventional therapy for uterine fibroids is to insert a very thin catheter into the blood supply artery of the uterine fibroids, that is, the nutrient blood vessel, to block the blood supply of the fibroids, causing them to lose nutrition, necrotize, shrink or even disappear. This method has the advantages of less trauma, low cost, less pain, no blood transfusion during surgery, and fast recovery; the disadvantage is limitation.

4. Surgical treatment: If long-term conservative treatment is ineffective or the symptoms are obvious, the fibroids are large, anemic, and growing rapidly, surgical treatment should be considered. Due to the high cost and high risk of surgery, surgery is the last choice for patients with fibroids.

We should also have our own understanding of the treatment of uterine fibroids, pay attention to timely treatment, pay attention to active and appropriate treatment methods, and pay attention to traditional treatment methods, which will also help the rational treatment of uterine fibroids.
