Patient's question:
How to treat uterine hypertrophyDoctor's answer:
Hello: Uterine hypertrophy refers to the uniform enlargement of the uterus with a muscular layer thickness exceeding 2.5 cm, accompanied by varying degrees of uterine bleeding.Chinese medicine treatment can control excessive menstruation and improve overall health; androgen therapy can reduce bleeding volume. For patients who do not respond to conservative treatment, a total hysterectomy may be considered. For those under 50 with normal ovaries, the ovaries should be preserved.
Since the causes of the condition are multifaceted, some can be prevented, such as practicing family planning, preventing postpartum infections, and administering uterine contraction medication promptly for those with poor postpartum uterine contraction. Pay attention to appropriate postpartum prone positioning or knee-chest position and postpartum exercises to prevent retroversion of the uterus and reduce pelvic congestion. Actively treat ovarian dysfunction to avoid continuous estrogen stimulation.
