1BChapter 2 – All About Uterine fibroids 50

353BOral Contraceptives

Oral contraceptives can be used to reduce bleeding by 30-50% in most

women with fibroids. How? They work by introducing more female hormones

into the endometrial lining of the uterus which controls a woman’s menstrual

flow.

Some studies also indicate that the hormones found in oral contraceptives

help tor educe the size of fibroids; although there are other studies which

refute this claim. Still, many women report good results with this method of

treatment.

B
354Progestins
Using a synthetic form of progesterone such as Provera or Magace seem to

help fibroid patients better control excessive bleeding caused by the tumors.

Although not labeled specifically for use in treating fibroids, progestins do

seem to offer some relief for many patients.

355BTranaxamic Acid

A drug that actually keeps blood clots from dissolving, Tranaxmic Acid has

been studied for use in reducing fibroid bleeding and seems to offer some real

relief. It is not, however, commonly used among physicians and is still in the

research stages as a viable fibroid remedy.
