Can uterine tumors be cured?

Most postmenopausal women do not need further treatment for uterine fibroids, but women who have not yet menopausal need to focus on treating the disease. Uterine fibroids will increase due to risk factors such as diet, environment, and drugs, and the uterus will also be severely damaged. So, can uterine fibroids be cured? This disease can be cured, and patients do not need to worry about the tumor becoming malignant, because the chance of malignancy is extremely low. Patients can be cured as long as they use reasonable and effective methods.

The main treatments for uterine tumors include:

Drug treatment:

Vitamins: The use of vitamins to treat uterine fibroids is that they can reduce the sensitivity of the uterine muscle layer to estrogen, regulate the neuroendocrine system, normalize steroid hormone metabolism and promote the reduction of fibroids. In 1980, Soviet doctor Paulladie reported that the comprehensive treatment of small myomas with vit A as the main ingredient and vit B, C, E as the supplementary ingredients had an efficacy of over 80% and no side effects. Baoyan has also tried this method in China, with a cure rate of 71.6%. This method is suitable for small fibroids.

Androgens: counteract estrogen, control uterine bleeding (menorrhagia) and prolong the menstrual cycle.

Usage: 10 mg of methyltestosterone, dissolve sublingually, once a day for 3 months. Or starting 4 to 7 days after the end of menstruation, inject testosterone propionate intramuscularly once a day, 25 mg each time, for 8 to 10 consecutive days to achieve hemostatic effect. The long-acting male hormone is testosterone phenylacetate, which is three times more powerful than testosterone propionate. 150 mg is injected 1 to 2 times a month. Generally, virilization does not occur. Even if it does occur, the symptoms disappear naturally after stopping the medication. Androgen should be used within 6 months. If it is needed again, it should be stopped after 1 to 2 months.

Progesterone: Progesterone is an antagonist of estrogen to a certain extent and can inhibit its effects. Therefore, some scholars use progesterone to treat uterine fibroids accompanied by persistent follicles. Depending on the patient's specific situation, pseudopregnancy therapy can be performed periodically or continuously to cause the fibroids to degenerate and soften. However, it is not suitable for long-term use because it may cause tumor enlargement and irregular uterine bleeding.

Medroxyprogesterone acetate: Cyclic treatment is 4 mg taken orally daily from the sixth to twenty-fifth day of menstruation. Continued therapy: 4 mg, 3 times a day in the first week, 8 mg, 2 times a day in the second week. Then 10 mg, twice a day. The application was continued for 3 to 6 months. There is also a useful dose of 10 mg, 3 times a day, for 3 consecutive months.

Fukang Tablets: Cyclic treatment is 5-10 mg orally daily, from the 6th to 25th day or the 16th to 25th day of menstruation. The duration of therapy is 5 mg once a day in the first week and 10 mg once a day in the second week. Then 10 mg, twice a day. All were applied for 3 to 6 months.

Surgical treatment:

(1) Myomectomy: It is a surgery to remove the myoma on the uterus and preserve the uterus. Mainly used for people under 45 years old, especially those under 40 years old. This surgery is not only for infertile women who have no children, but also for those who already have children, whose fibroids are large, with a diameter greater than 6cm, whose menstrual period is heavy and conservative medication is ineffective, or who have compression symptoms, submucosal fibroids, or whose fibroids grow rapidly. Enucleation should also be performed for the sake of mental and physical health. As for the number of fibroids, it is usually limited to 15 or less. For those who are eager to have children, no matter how many there are, even those who have more than 100, there are cases where they had children after having uterine fibroids removed. Before or after surgery for uterine fibroids, in order to prevent the fibroids from growing again, you can take Qinghong Gongliuqing Tablets to prevent the fibroids from growing again.

(ii) Hysterectomy: When expectant treatment and drug therapy fail to improve the patient's symptoms and the patient needs surgery but is not eligible for myoma removal, hysterectomy is recommended. Hysterectomy can be performed by total hysterectomy or vaginal hysterectomy. Hysterectomy is mainly performed through the abdominal route. For patients with small tumors, no inflammatory adhesions in the adnexa, excessive abdominal obesity, or eczema on the abdominal wall, vaginal surgery may be considered.

Can uterine fibroids be cured? Experts answer to this question is that it can be cured. The main treatment methods are medication and surgery. Before treatment, a routine physical examination should be done. After the examination, the location of the tumor can be found, and the treatment method can be determined based on the size. After treatment, preventive health care should be carried out for the disease to avoid the recurrence of uterine fibroids. Therefore, a gynecological physical examination should be done every year to detect hidden diseases in the body in time.
