Can uterine fibroids get smaller?

Uterine fibroids are a disease that occurs in women. It is also a common tumor. Most uterine fibroids are benign. In fact, this is the well-known uterine fibroids. There are many reasons why women develop this disease. First of all, it is related to abnormal ovarian function. In addition, it is closely related to hormonal changes in the body, which can cause symptoms such as uterine bleeding in women. So if uterine fibroids are not treated, will they shrink by themselves?

Can uterine fibroids get smaller?

Whether uterine fibroids will become smaller depends on the situation. However, once uterine fibroids are discovered, they must be treated actively:

1. Have regular follow-up check-ups. For patients with uterine fibroids with relatively mild symptoms, if there are no abnormal symptoms in the body, the uterine fibroids are relatively small and have not become malignant, they can follow the doctor's advice and go to the hospital for regular follow-up checks on the condition of the uterine fibroids.

2. Drug therapy. For patients with uterine fibroids who do not require surgical treatment and patients with uterine fibroids that cannot be treated with surgery, drug therapy can generally be used. That is, the growth of uterine fibroids is inhibited by taking drugs. For example, danazol is used as preoperative medication or to treat 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 such as acne and deepening of the voice.

3. Surgical treatment. It mainly refers to myomectomy and hysterectomy, which can be performed abdominally or vaginally, or by hysteroscopy or laparoscopy. Generally, doctors will decide which surgical method to use based on the patient's specific situation.
