Western medicine treatment

Treatment must be comprehensively considered based on the patient's age, fertility requirements, symptoms, size of the fibroids, etc.

1. Follow-up observation

If the fibroids are small and asymptomatic, usually no treatment is required, especially for patients near menopause. Estrogen levels are low and the fibroids may shrink or disappear naturally. Follow-up is required every 3-6 months. If the fibroids are found to be larger or the symptoms are obvious during the follow-up period, further treatment should be considered.

2. Drug treatment

For patients whose fibroids are smaller than the size of a 2-month pregnant uterus, whose symptoms are mild or not obvious, and whose patients are near menopause and whose general condition cannot allow surgery, symptomatic drug treatment can be given.

(1) Androgens: They can counteract estrogen, causing the endometrium to shrink, and directly act on smooth muscles to cause them to contract and reduce bleeding, and can also cause premature menopause in perimenopausal patients.

(2) Luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone analogs: They can inhibit pituitary and ovarian function and reduce estrogen levels. They are suitable for the treatment of small fibroids (≤ the size of a 2-month pregnant uterus), patients with increased menstrual flow or shortened menstrual cycles, and patients in menopause or peri-menopause.

3. Surgical treatment

If the fibroid is larger than the size of a 2.5-month gestational uterus or the symptoms are obvious and cause secondary anemia, surgical treatment is often required. The surgical methods include:

(1) Myomectomy: Suitable for unmarried patients under 35 years old or married patients without children who wish to preserve their fertility. Myomas are usually removed abdominally or laparoscopically. Submucosal fibroids protruding from the cervix or vagina can be removed vaginally or hysteroscopically. The base of the pedicle can be sutured with intestinal thread or clamped with a vascular clamp for 24 to 48 hours and then the clamp can be removed, or it can be directly removed.

(2) Hysterectomy: If the fibroids are large, the symptoms are obvious, drug treatment is ineffective, there is no need to preserve fertility, or there is suspected malignant transformation, subtotal hysterectomy or total hysterectomy can be performed. Women under 50 years old with normal-looking ovaries can keep their ovaries.

TCM treatment of uterine fibroids

1. Treatment with Chinese medicine

1. According to the characteristics of blood and qi disorders in uterine fibroids, treatment should distinguish between qi and blood, new disease and long-term disease. If the disease is in the Qi, the main treatment is to regulate Qi and remove stagnation, supplemented by regulating blood; if the disease is in the blood, the main treatment is to activate blood circulation, resolve blood stasis and resolve nodules, supplemented by regulating Qi. In the case of a new illness, the vital energy is still strong and can be attacked and weakened; in the case of a long-term illness, the vital energy is weakened, so it is advisable to use both attack and tonification. Generally speaking, it is advisable to "stop when the vital energy is mostly weakened". Do not attack fiercely or harshly, so as not to damage the vital energy.

2. Both drug and non-drug therapies can be used to treat this disease. New diseases and qi diseases should be treated by promoting qi and blood circulation. Long-term diseases, blood diseases or phlegm congestion, mild conditions, and small lumps should be treated by promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis and eliminating symptoms. Severe conditions, large lumps, and gradually declining vital energy should be treated by surgical resection to remove pathogenic factors and then regulate the body.
