What should you do if you have uterine hypertrophy?

Uterine hypertrophy can be treated through drug treatment, physical therapy, surgical treatment, traditional Chinese medicine conditioning, and life intervention. Uterine hypertrophy is usually caused by chronic inflammatory stimulation, abnormal hormone levels, childbirth injury, uterine fibroids, adenomyosis and other reasons.

1. Drug treatment

Patients with uterine hypertrophy can use progesterone capsules, dydrogesterone tablets and other progesterone drugs under the guidance of a doctor to regulate hormone levels. If combined with infection, antibiotics such as cefixime dispersible tablets and metronidazole tablets can be used to control inflammation. Chinese patent medicines such as Guizhi Fuling Capsules can help activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis, but self-medication should be avoided.

2. Physical therapy

High-frequency radiosurgery cervical conization is suitable for patients with cervical hypertrophy, and the diseased tissue is removed by electrocautery. Cryotherapy uses low temperature to cause abnormal tissue to die and fall off, and is suitable for patients with mild hypertrophy. Cervical TCT and HPV screening must be completed before physical therapy to exclude the possibility of malignant transformation.

3. Surgical treatment

Total hysterectomy is suitable for patients with severe symptoms caused by adenomyosis or fibroids. Hysteroscopic endometrial ablation can preserve the uterus and is suitable for those who want to have children. The surgical method needs to be comprehensively evaluated based on age, fertility requirements and disease severity.

4. Traditional Chinese Medicine Conditioning

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that uterine hypertrophy is related to qi stagnation and blood stasis. Shaofu Zhuyu Decoction can be used to improve pelvic blood circulation. Moxibustion on Guanyuan, Qihai and other acupoints can help warm the meridians and dispel cold. It needs to be treated based on syndrome differentiation by professional Chinese physicians to avoid abuse of blood-activating drugs.

5. Life intervention

Keep your vulva clean and dry and avoid using harsh lotions. Bathing and sex are prohibited during menstruation to reduce the risk of infection. Moderate exercise such as yoga can promote pelvic blood circulation, but strenuous exercise should be avoided to aggravate pelvic congestion.

Patients with uterine hypertrophy should have a gynecological examination every six months to monitor changes in their condition. Eat more high-quality protein and fresh vegetables and fruits in your diet, and limit high-fat foods. If abnormal vaginal bleeding or abdominal pain worsens, you need to seek medical attention promptly to avoid delaying treatment. Maintaining a regular schedule and a good attitude have a positive effect on disease recovery.
