1. Expectant Therapy: Patients do not need to use medical measures; regular follow-up and observation are sufficient. After menopause, due to the significant decline in estrogen and progesterone levels in postmenopausal women, fibroids shrink and symptoms are alleviated. This method is suitable for women with relatively small fibroids, no obvious symptoms, and who are close to menopause. The fibroids will no longer grow.2. Physical Therapy: This primarily aims to treat uterine fibroids by destroying fibroid cells through physical methods. Main techniques include microwave therapy, cryotherapy, and focused ultrasound thermal ablation, among others. Among these, focused ultrasound thermal ablation shows very significant short-term efficacy and symptom improvement, with no side effects.
