MANAGEMENT OF THE MEDICAL THERAPY OF UTERINE FIBROSIS
Abstract:
Starting with the observation that fibroid
growth is hormone dependent, current medical treatments
mainly involve hormonal manipulation. Gonadotrophinreleasing
hormone analogues (Gn-Rha) have been the
most widely used, and, although they cause fibroid
regression, they can only be used on short term, as
temporizing measures in the perimenopausal women, or
pre-operatively, to reduce fibroid size, influence the type
of surgery, restore haemoglobin levels and apparently
reduce blood loss at operation. Surgical and radiological
approaches remain the mainstay effective therapies.
