असामान्य गर्भाशय रक्तस्राव के साथ गर्भाशय फाइब्रॉएड: जब चिकित्सा प्रबंधन पर्याप्त नियंत्रण प्राप्त नहीं कर सका

Fibroid patients with abnormal uterine bleeding may be offered menstrual suppression with oral contraceptives, progestins (including the levonorgestrel intrauterine system), gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists, gonadotropin-releasing hormone antagonists, and danazol.

Patients presenting with fibroids and abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) remain at risk of other causes of AUB.

Definitive treatment for uterine fibroids is hysterectomy.

In symptomatic patients wishing to preserve their fertility and/or their uterus, myomectomy may be offered.

Preoperative treatment with GnRH agonists is effective in correcting anemia, reducing fibroid size, and reducing intra-operative bleeding.

Uterine artery embolization may be offered as a minimally invasive technique that can reduce fibroid symptoms in patients wishing to preserve their uterus.

Clinical outcomes following UAE include 50–60% reduction in leiomyoma volume, 40–50% in uterine volume, elimination of abnormal uterine bleeding (>90%), and high patient satisfaction rates (80–90%).
