What methods are used to treat uterine fibroids?

Patient's question:

Lately, I don't know what's wrong with me either. Gradually, I feel a particularly sharp pain in my lower abdomen. After checking into the hospital, the results showed that I had uterine fibroids.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, uterine fibroids can be treated with medication or surgery. Generally, young women who need to have children can opt for medication. Medication treatment can cause the fibroids to shrink, and when the fibroids become smaller, it can help facilitate conception. Most uterine fibroids are hormone-dependent tumors, so they can be treated with hormone antagonists. Surgical treatment has several methods, including simple abdominal total hysterectomy, small incision laparoscopic hysterectomy, extraperitoneal cervical conization hysterectomy, and vaginal total hysterectomy, among others. The choice of surgical method depends on the size and location of the fibroids.
