How to treat uterine fibroids in girls

Uterine fibroids are a relatively common gynecological disease and a benign tumor that can occur in women of all ages. However, since the reproductive system of many young girls has not yet fully developed, they are still very worried that uterine fibroids will cause greater harm to their bodies and are very concerned about the treatment. So, how to treat uterine fibroids in girls? Let’s take a closer look below.

1. Follow-up observation

If the patient has no obvious symptoms and no signs of malignancy, regular follow-up observation can be performed.

2. Medication

(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.

The above is an introduction to how to treat uterine fibroids in young girls. I hope it will be helpful to women’s understanding. Girls suffering from uterine fibroids must be taken seriously. After all, it is a very serious disease. If this disease is discovered in life, go to a regular hospital for diagnosis and treatment in time to avoid causing greater harm to our health.
