Options for medical treatment of myomas

Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinics of North America
Beth W Rackow, Aydin Arici

Abstract

It is evident that complex biochemical interactions are involved in the regulation of myoma growth, and ovarian steroid hormones have significant influence on this process. Current myoma therapies manipulate the hormonal environment to achieve myoma regression and control of bleeding. Although several of these therapies achieve some level of success, further studies are necessary to evaluate the current and long-term effects of these therapies. In clinical medicine each patient must be evaluated thoroughly, and the decision for medical therapy or surgery--and for which medical therapy--needs to be individualized. If one medical therapy does not work, several other effective therapies are available.
