In daily life, if women do not pay attention to some precautions, it is easy to cause gynecological diseases. Gynecological diseases greatly affect women's health. As we all know, uterine fibroids are a very serious gynecological disease. Many people do not know much about the condition of this disease. When uterine fibroids are 2 cm, whether they are serious is what many women want to know. Let's take a look at the article for relevant introduction:

Treatment of uterine fibroids 2 cm

1. Follow-up observation: For patients with fibroids smaller than 8 weeks of gestation and without obvious symptoms, or for patients in the perimenopausal period whose uterus is smaller than 12 weeks of gestation, with normal menstruation and no compression symptoms, temporary observation can be performed. Adhere to check every 3 months. Generally, after menopause, due to the decrease in estrogen levels, fibroids will gradually shrink. If the fibroids are found to be enlarged or the symptoms are obvious during follow-up, the possibility of malignant transformation of the fibroids should be considered. Surgical treatment should be performed promptly.

2. Drug treatment: For patients with heavy menstrual flow and uterine enlargement to about 8 weeks of pregnancy, androgen therapy can be used after diagnostic curettage to rule out endometrial cancer. Androgens counteract estrogen, causing the endometrium to atrophy, the muscular layer and vascular smooth muscle to contract, and reduce bleeding. Methyltestosterone and testosterone propionate are commonly used, but the dosage and method should be under the guidance of a doctor to avoid improper use of the medication, which may cause endocrine disorders, virilization, etc.

3. Interventional therapy for uterine fibroids: Interventional therapy for uterine fibroids is a non-surgical method of inserting an extremely thin catheter into the blood supply artery, i.e., the nutrient blood vessel, of the uterine fibroids, thereby blocking the blood supply of the fibroids, causing them to lose nutrition and self-necrotize, atrophy, or even disappear. Which method is better for treating uterine fibroids? This method is suitable for all types of fibroids, has no obvious contraindications and complications, and has the advantages of less trauma, low cost, less pain, no need for blood transfusion during surgery, and quick recovery. Welcomed by women.

4. Surgical treatment: If long-term conservative treatment is ineffective, or if the symptoms are obvious, the fibroids are large, and there is anemia and rapid growth, surgical treatment should be considered. There are two types of surgical treatments. One is laparotomy. The first choice for laparotomy should be myoma removal. As long as it is a benign tumor, the uterus should be preserved as much as possible. However, if a hysterectomy is required, it can be removed. In principle, the uterus should be preserved if possible, and even the cervix should be preserved if possible.

Through the introduction of the article, I believe many people have a certain understanding of the treatment methods of 2 cm uterine fibroids. There are two types of this disease, benign and malignant. When it is malignant, the impact on women’s health is very large. You must go to a regular gynecological hospital for treatment in time.
