Management of Uterine Fibroids 🌟
Uterine fibroids, non-cancerous growths in the uterus, can cause various symptoms and impact a woman's quality of life. Management strategies depend on the severity of symptoms, desire for future fertility, and overall health. Management can include:
Expectant Management: For asymptomatic fibroids or mild symptoms, monitoring may be sufficient. Regular check-ups can help assess any changes in size or symptoms.
Hormonal Treatment: Medications such as hormonal contraceptives or GnRH agonists can help manage symptoms by regulating menstrual cycles and reducing bleeding.
Conservative Surgical Approaches:
Myomectomy: This procedure is ideal for women desiring future pregnancies. It involves the surgical removal of fibroids while preserving the uterus, allowing for potential childbearing.
Hysterectomy: For women who experience debilitating symptoms and have completed childbearing, a hysterectomy may be recommended. This procedure removes the uterus entirely and offers a definitive solution to fibroid-related issues.
Treatment is usually a shared decision making process with the patient and physician. Treatment options are tailored to the patient needs and circumstances
