What medicine can I take to shrink uterine fibroids?

The presence of uterine fibroids can cause great harm to a woman's body, especially the uterus. If uterine fibroids are not removed in time, they will affect the normal function of the uterus, and in severe cases may even cause female infertility. Therefore, the treatment of uterine fibroids cannot be delayed. In addition to surgical treatment, some medications are also very beneficial for the treatment of uterine fibroids. So, what medicine can shrink 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.

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.
