Can fibroids be cured by taking medicine?

Now more and more patients do not want to have surgery, because they think that surgery hurts the body and it is difficult to recover, so they are willing to take medicine for treatment, especially patients with fibroids. Many patients think that taking medicine can cure it, just take more medicine. So, can fibroids be cured by taking medicine? Let's find out together!

First, let’s learn about the types of fibroids:

Xanthofibroma

It is common in the dermis or subcutaneous layer of the trunk and proximal upper arm. It often arises from small papules after trauma or itching. The lumps are hard with unclear edges. Because they are accompanied by internal bleeding, they contain hemosiderin and are dark brown. If the tumor is larger than 1 cm and grows rapidly, it should be suspected to be fibrosarcoma and must be completely removed surgically.

Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans

Located in the dermis, protruding from the body surface, with smooth surface skin, shaped like keloid, it is prone to occur on the trunk, is of low grade malignancy, has a pseudocapsule, is prone to recurrence after resection, and multiple recurrences increase the malignancy. It can metastasize through the bloodstream, and the tumor lesions containing enough normal skin and deep adjacent fascia should be removed as soon as possible.

zona fibroma

The abdominal wall muscles are formed by reparative hyperplasia after trauma or birth injury, have no obvious capsule, and are suitable for surgical removal.

The treatment for fibroids is:

1. Benign fibroma: surgical resection and send for pathological examination.

2. Fibromatosis: Fibromatosis growing in areas susceptible to pressure and friction can be removed and then pathologically examined.

3. Desmoid tumor: local extensive resection, including complete resection of the tumor and the surrounding 3 cm tissue, and skin grafting, otherwise it is very likely to recur.

Therefore, we cannot generalize about patients with fibroids. Taking medicine does not necessarily cure the disease. It mainly depends on the severity of the disease. If the condition is mild, you can take medicine under the doctor's advice, but if the condition is serious, surgery is required.
