Are there non-surgical treatments for uterine fibroids?
Medical management with drugs is as the name goes; management. This is to reduce the quantity of blood flow. To the best of my knowledge, surgery (myomectomy) still remains the best option available for definitive treatment of uterine fibroid. Where resources are available, there is what is called Minimal Access Surgery where where highly specialised endoscopes are used for the surgery.

Yes we do. I trained at NAUTH and there is this Obs and Gynae consultant who was our teacher who specialised in fertility. His private clinic has made progress in the areas of invitro fertilization, minimal access surgeries, etc.

However, pending on when you gather money for myomectomy or hysterectomy as the case may be, persist with Tranexamic acid which reduces menorrhgia by 50%.

[quote author=planbwellness post=31680644]CAUSES OF EXCESSIVE MENSTRUAL BLEEDING

Heavy or prolonged menstrual periods, or menorrhagia, are the most common type of abnormal bleeding from the uterus. Periods are considered heavy if there is enough blood to soak a pad or tampon every hour for several consecutive hours. Other symptoms of a heavy period can include:

Nighttime bleeding that requires getting up to change pads or tampons

Passing large blood clots during menstruation

A period that lasts longer than seven days


In severe cases, heavy menstruation can interfere with sleep and daily activities. Blood loss from heavy periods can also lead to anaemia, causing symptoms such as fatigue and shortness of breath.

In some cases, the cause of heavy menstrual bleeding is unknown, but a number of conditions may cause menorrhagia. Common causes include:

Hormone imbalance - In a normal menstrual cycle, a balance between the hormones estrogen and progesterone regulates the buildup of the lining of the uterus (endometrium), which is shed during menstruation. If a hormone imbalance occurs, the endometrium develops in excess and eventually sheds by way of heavy menstrual bleeding.

Dysfunction of the Ovaries – If your ovaries don’t release an egg (ovulate) during a menstrual cycle (anovulation), your body doesn’t produce the hormone progesterone, as it would during a normal menstrual cycle. This leads to hormone imbalance and may result in menorrhagia.

Uterine Fibroids – These noncancerous (benign) tumors of the uterus appear during your childbearing years. Uterine fibroids may cause heavier than normal or prolonged menstrual bleeding. Read about how to get rid of fibroids without surgery here…

Polyps – Small, benign growths on the lining of the uterus (uterine polyps) may cause heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding. Polyps of the uterus most commonly occur in women of reproductive age as the result of high hormone levels.

Adenomyosis – This condition occurs when glands from the endometrium become embedded in the uterine muscle, often causing heavy bleeding and painful menses. Adenomyosis is most likely to develop if you’re a middle-aged woman who has had children.

Intrauterine Device (IUD) – Menorrhagia is a well-known side effect of using a nonhormonal intrauterine device for birth control. When an IUD is the cause of excessive menstrual bleeding, you may need to remove it.

Pregnancy Complications – A single, heavy, late period may be due to a miscarriage. If bleeding occurs at the usual time of menstruation, however, miscarriage is unlikely to be the cause. An ectopic pregnancy — implantation of a fertilized egg within the fallopian tube instead of the uterus — also may cause menorrhagia.

Cancer – Rarely, uterine cancer, ovarian cancer and cervical cancer can cause excessive menstrual bleeding.

Inherited Bleeding Disorders – Some blood coagulation disorders — such as von Willebrand’s disease, a condition in which an important blood-clotting factor is deficient or impaired — can cause abnormal menstrual bleeding.

Medications – Certain drugs, including anti-inflammatory medications and anticoagulants, can contribute to heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding.

Other medical conditions – A number of other medical conditions, including pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), thyroid problems, endometriosis, and liver or kidney disease, may be associated with menorrhagia.



One medication which is recommended for the treatment of Excessive Menstrual Bleeding, Premenstrual Syndrome, Menorrhagia, Metrorrhagia, Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome, etc is Evecare by Himalaya Drug Company.

It's available in Pharmacy shops across Nigeria

Well done op.
*Modified*
For women of child bearing age, uterine fibroids are the commonest causes. It is almost always the cause for mennorrhagia especially among African women.

Other uncommon causes could be blood dyscrasias such as haemophilia A or B, etc. But these causes are so rare.

Yes, but that is a textbook drug sha o. Never heard any consultant prescribe it all through my training. It finds its many other uses in management of premenstrual symptoms, dysmennorrhea, and endometrosis. Never even seen the drug itself with my eyes before, honestly sir.

I know someone who uses it to manage the symptoms of fibroid. When the bleeding becomes too much, she takes it for three days. It stops the bleeding, for about two weeks, and when it starts again, the bleeding doesn't last beyond 5 days.

Before then she could change pads up to 4-5 times daily. It was that bad

Thats really serious. If it works for her, let her continue with it, but should save up money for myomectomy asap. Uterine fibroids can cause recurrent abortions in women when they decide to have children. It can become a serious challenge in marriage.

people with heavy periods should try ginger lemon tea. grate ginger, add hot water, squeeze in lemon and a dash of real honey if you have it. take it every night particularly close to periods.
