Is it okay to take medication for fibroids at 50?

If a 50-year-old woman is already menopausal and uterine fibroids are found, drug treatment is not recommended, regular review and observation is sufficient; if a 50-year-old woman is not menopausal but is near menopause, drug treatment may be considered, but the effect is not exact. Uterine fibroids are the most common benign tumors of the female genitalia, mostly seen in women aged 30-50 years old. The occurrence of this disease is considered to be possibly related to estrogen in women’s bodies, and the fibroids can mostly shrink and symptoms disappear after menopause, and regular follow-up is sufficient. For patients with mild symptoms and near menopause, medication can alleviate symptoms and inhibit the growth of fibroids, but the fibroids gradually increase in size after stopping the medication, and long-term use of medication can lead to osteoporosis, endometrial lesions and other side effects. If the fibroid is too large and produces pressure symptoms, abdominal pain, suspected sarcomatous changes, etc., the patient should undergo timely surgical treatment. It is recommended to go to the hospital, under the guidance of the doctor for standardized diagnosis and treatment.
