Hi,

A majority of uterine fibroids require no treatment. However treatment becomes necessary if there is excessive bleeding during menstruation, the tumour keeps growing or if there are other symptoms. In women older than 35years or with completed family are treated by a hysterectomy (removal of the uterus) rather than myomectomy (removal of the fibroids), to minimize the chances of recurrence. Myomectomy is generally done in cases where the patient wishes to preserve her fertility. Medicines like danazol, GnRH analogues and progesterone derivatives, to shrink the fibroid, may be given for 2-3 months before surgery.

In the present times, laparoscopic removal of the uterus with fibroids or removal of the fibroid only are also performed reqularily with excellent results. The advantage over the routine open procedures is a quicker recovery, shorter hospital stay and less complications. The only disadvantage may be a longer anasthesia duration.

The measures can be taken at home are

Bed rest and medicines like aspirin or paracetamol may help in cramps and body aches. A hot water bottle or a heating pad may also help to relieve the pain. Excessive menstrual blood loss may cause anaemia. In this case, prescribed medication (such as tranexamic acid) should be taken during the three first days of the period. The anaemia can be corrected by taking iron supplements.
