1. What medicine to take for uterine fibroids

1. Male hormone: 5 mg of methyltestosterone, taken sublingually twice a day for 20 days each month, or 25 mg of testosterone propionate, injected intramuscularly once every 5 days until the onset of menstruation, then injected intramuscularly 25 mg daily for 3 consecutive days. The total amount per month should not exceed 300 mg. Although treatment with male hormones has certain therapeutic effects, it has the side effect of masculinization, so it cannot be used for a long time.

2. Progesterone antagonists: In recent years, studies have shown that the occurrence of uterine fibroids is not only related to estrogen, but also to progesterone. Therefore, a progesterone antagonist has been developed to treat fibroids. Mifepristone is taken orally at 5 mg twice a day for 3 months as a course of treatment. It has mild side effects of hot flashes and discomfort in small joints, which disappear after stopping the drug. Because it is a new drug, it is still on trial application.
