Are subserosal uterine fibroids serious? How to treat them?

After the age of 40 or 50, women's bodies gradually begin to develop some symptoms. For example, common uterine diseases and gynecological diseases mostly trouble many female friends. Are subserosal uterine fibroids serious? How serious are the harms? How should we treat them in normal times? These have become the main questions that many patients want to ask.

1. Expectant treatment:

The fibroids are small, asymptomatic, without complications or degeneration, and have no impact on health. For perimenopausal patients without clinical symptoms, it is considered that ovarian dysfunction may cause the fibroids to regress or shrink. All of the above situations can be treated with expectant management, that is, regular follow-up observations in clinical and imaging aspects (once every 3 to 6 months). The treatment will be decided based on the review results.

2. Drug treatment:

There have been many new advances in drug treatment.

3. Surgical treatment:

For patients with fibroids, the age for hysterectomy was previously set at over 45 years old. It now seems that we need to proceed from reality, especially based on the progress of gynecological endocrinology. The age limit for ovarian preservation is generally 50 years old (the average age of menopause is 49.5 years old), that is, those under 50 years old who can preserve their ovaries should do so. Or the normal ovaries of those who have not reached menopause after the age of 50 should also be preserved, regardless of age.

4. Radiation therapy:

It is used for patients who have contraindications to surgical treatment or refuse surgical treatment when drug treatment is ineffective, but it also has certain contraindications.

Above we introduced 3 treatment methods for subserosal uterine fibroids. Many people think that subserosal uterine fibroids are serious and should be treated. These are wrong concepts, because subserosal uterine fibroids are relatively serious. If not treated in time, they may cause complications to your body.
