In the previous article, it was mentioned that “symptoms” are the deciding factor for surgery or not. So if there are no symptoms, is there no need for treatment? If you don’t want to have surgery, can you take medication? Let’s take a look at the issue of medication for fibroids. Medication is not recommended for patients with fibroids We know that the cause of fibroids may be closely related to female sex hormones, so medications that act against sex hormones are often used to treat fibroids. There are many different types of drugs, including androgens, mifepristone, gonadotropin-releasing hormone, and others. The common feature of these drugs is that they are short-lived, and the fibroids may get smaller while they are being used, but they will grow back after they are stopped. Most of the drugs have a lot of side effects and are not safe to be taken for a long time, usually the course of treatment is about 3 months-6 months. Therefore, medication for fibroids is not recommended for patients with fibroids because of the high cost and side effects, which are not worth the cost. For patients without symptoms, they only need to be regularly reviewed and monitored at any time by ultrasound or pelvic examination every 6 months. For patients with symptoms surgery is still the preferred treatment. Medications are only suitable for short-term treatment Medications are only suitable for short-term treatment, such as temporary relief of anemia symptoms in preparation for surgery, or for patients who are approaching menopause and wish to improve the bleeding symptoms of fibroids to reach menopausal status. Therefore, please take the advice of your medical professional whether you need to take the medication or not. Some patients have also asked “Can the Mannorrhea Ring treat fibroids?”. Some patients have asked, “Can the Manned Ring treat fibroids?”. In fact, the IUD is used for contraception. In addition to its function as an IUD, it also releases a small amount of progesterone, which helps to achieve the purpose of contraception. The local action of the Mannorrhea ring on the uterine cavity can cause the endometrium to shrink, which can reduce the patient’s menstrual flow and relieve menstrual pain, but it is not conclusive whether it has any therapeutic effect on fibroids. Therefore, patients are not advised to use this treatment at will and should follow the advice of their doctor if they want to use it.
