Treatment of multiple uterine fibroids

The disease of uterine fibroids should be very familiar to women, because many women have suffered from uterine fibroids. Uterine fibroids are a common disease among women. This disease is usually more common in middle-aged women, which is also related to their physical condition. There are many types of uterine fibroids, and multiple uterine fibroids are a common type. So, what are the treatments for multiple uterine fibroids?

The above-mentioned problem is related to the physical health of women, but most women are not aware of it, and most patients with multiple uterine fibroids are also not aware of this problem. In fact, there are many treatments for multiple uterine fibroids in current medicine, and many methods can cure multiple uterine fibroids. So let’s talk about it in detail below.

Uterine fibroids are the most common benign tumors in the female reproductive organs and one of the most common tumors in the human body. They are also called fibroids and uterine fibroids. Since uterine fibroids are mainly formed by the proliferation of uterine smooth muscle cells, with a small amount of fibrous connective tissue existing as a supporting tissue, it is more accurate to call them uterine leiomyomas. Referred to as uterine fibroids.

Drug treatment

(1) Gonadotropin- releasing hormone agonists (GnRH-a) Currently, the commonly used GnRH-a in clinical practice include leuprorelin (Enanton), goserelin (Zoleide), triptorelin (Dapiga), etc. GnRH-a should not be used continuously for a long time. It is only used for pretreatment before surgery, generally for 3 to 6 months, to avoid causing severe menopausal symptoms caused by low estrogen. A small dose of estrogen can also be supplemented at the same time to counteract this side effect.

(2) Mifepristone is a progesterone antagonist that has been clinically tried in recent years to treat uterine fibroids. It can reduce the size of fibroids, but the fibroids often grow again after discontinuation of the drug.

(3) Danazol is used for preoperative medication or treatment of uterine fibroids that are not suitable for surgery. Uterine fibroids may grow larger after medication is stopped. Danazol can cause liver damage and androgen-induced side effects (weight gain, acne, hoarse voice, etc.).

(4) Tamoxifen can inhibit the growth of fibroids. However, long-term use may cause enlargement of uterine fibroids in some patients, and may even induce endometriosis and endometrial cancer, so this should be paid attention to.

(5) Commonly used androgen drugs include methyltestosterone (methyltestosterone) and testosterone propionate (testosterone propionate), which can inhibit the growth of fibroids. The dosage should be used carefully to avoid virilization.

During the bleeding period of patients with uterine fibroids, if the amount of bleeding is heavy, uterine contractants (such as oxytocin, ergot) and hemostatic drugs (such as hemostatic acid, aminobenzoic acid (hemostatic aromatic acid), lizhihemostasis, Panax notoginseng tablets, etc.) can also be used, which can play a certain degree of auxiliary hemostatic effect.

To sum up, we all know the treatment methods for multiple uterine fibroids. From the above introduction, we can also find that, as mentioned above, there are many treatments for multiple uterine fibroids. The most common ones are generally drug treatments. Of course, for a disease like multiple uterine fibroids, general Western medicine treatments can cure it.
