What are the treatments for multiple uterine fibroids?

Multiple uterine fibroids can have a great impact on women's reproductive health, so we must pay attention to scientific treatment. Common treatments include drug therapy and surgical treatment, but we must pay attention to the patient's fibroid condition.

1. Medicine: Traditional Chinese medicine is ineffective in treating uterine fibroids. Sex hormone drugs are used to forcibly lower estrogen levels and relieve the symptoms of uterine fibroids, but they cannot be cured and have serious side effects.

2. Surgery: Myomectomy or hysterectomy is effective quickly, but if the root cause of the disease, endocrine disorders, is not changed, uterine fibroids may recur. The most important thing for those with uterine fibroids is to detect them in time and have surgery early.

3. Choose the treatment method that suits you based on the different characteristics of the fibroids and the patient's own condition. Many people who have no desire to have children choose to have a hysterectomy after suffering from uterine fibroids, with the aim of achieving quick results and preventing recurrence, but they lose both the fibroids and the uterus. Little do people know that the uterus is an integral part of the female pelvic floor. To remove the uterus, a hole must be dug in the pelvic floor and the 10 ligaments that secure the uterus must be cut off before the uterus can be removed. The integrity of the pelvic floor is destroyed, the support strength of the pelvic floor decreases, and the internal organs sag, seriously affecting the quality of life, especially sexual life. Removing the uterus due to myoma is a very big misunderstanding. In fact, myoma is a benign disease. With today's medical level, there is no need and should not be a hysterectomy. Minimally invasive technology has become very popular. Submucosal fibroids can be completely removed vaginally with a hysteroscope without any incision; subserosal fibroids and intramural fibroids can be removed laparoscopically, with the maximum incision of the abdominal wall being 1 cm. Therefore, young or asymptomatic patients with fibroids should not wait until the fibroids grow larger or symptoms appear before undergoing surgery. The smaller the fibroids, the less trauma to the uterus.

4. Once the fibroids exist, they will surely grow larger and larger. Any drug treatment will be ineffective. Embolization and self-coagulation knife are not advisable because they can easily damage the intestines, cause bleeding, and recurrence. It is better to remove it as soon as possible and assist with endocrine regulation after surgery, which is the best solution.
