Patient's question:
I carefully discovered uterine fibroids in August. After taking the medication for a month, I have almost finished the first phase of the medicine prescribed by the doctor. The doctor said that my condition can be treated conservatively without the need for surgery, but the side effects of the medication are a bit significant. I would like to ask what medications are used to treat uterine fibroids?Doctor's answer:
For uterine fibroids, if they are less than 5 centimeters and do not affect your menstrual cycle normally, treatment may not be necessary. Regular check-ups are sufficient. It is not the case that all uterine fibroids must be treated with medication or surgery. Additionally, since you are approaching menopause at your current age, the uterus will expand after menopause, and the fibroids will also expand accordingly. Therefore, there will be absolutely no consequences. If you currently experience heavy menstrual bleeding, surgery may be required. Oral medications can be taken to promote blood circulation, which may cause the fibroids to grow.
