If uterine fibroids are detected after menopause, if the size of fibroids is small and there is no obvious symptom, there is no need for special treatment, and regular rechecking is enough; if the size of fibroids is large, medication or surgical treatment can be chosen according to the condition.
1. Uterine fibroids belong to hormone-dependent diseases, and some of them may shrink or recede on their own as the hormone level of the body decreases after menopause. Therefore, if the size of fibroids is small and there is no obvious symptom, there is no need to have special treatment, and regular checkups will be enough.
2. Medication: If the fibroid is large and there are obvious discomfort symptoms, you can choose medication such as mifepristone according to the doctor’s instruction.
3. Surgery: if necessary, you can choose surgery to remove the fibroid. For those with large number of fibroids, large diameter of fibroids or suspected malignancy, hysterectomy is needed to achieve the therapeutic purpose.
Fibroids detected after menopause should consult the attending doctor and choose the specific treatment under the doctor’s guidance.
