What is the effect of Mirena on uterine fibroids?

Patient's question:

My wife has been diagnosed with uterine fibroids. I want to ask what medication Mirena is. What effect does Mirena have on uterine fibroids?

Doctor's answer:

Dear Consultee,
Uterine fibroids are a common type of benign tumor in gynecology. Mirena is a medication that adjusts hormone levels in the body and does not have a direct therapeutic effect on uterine fibroids. It can help alleviate symptoms. The most direct method to treat this condition is to undergo surgical treatment for uterine fibroids at a hospital. If the fibroids are small, minimally invasive surgery can be used. It is important to have a correct understanding and undergo regular follow-up examinations.
