Q: What are the drugs for fibroids?

Medical treatments for fibroids work by regulating the hormones that are involved in the menstrual cycle and they reduce the size of fibroids rather than preventing or eliminating them.  Drugs and hormones can be used to control the symptoms of fibroids, either to delay further treatment, or to try to allow women to get through to the menopause when fibroids tend to shrink naturally. However, if oestrogen replacement hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is used during the menopause this will cause the fibroids to grow again. -- See Medical Management Uterine Fibroids, by Fibroids Experts Mr Adrian Lower and -- Medical treatments for uterine fibroids Mr Ertan Saridogan
