摘要
Uterine myomas are a prevalent issue for women of reproductive age. For patients who desire future fertility or conservative management of myomas, medical therapies can be an effective management option. Estrogen and progesterone impact myoma growth and development, and current medical therapies manipulate these steroid hormones to affect myoma size and abnormal bleeding. Future therapies are likely to target more specific hormone regulation, growth factors, or gene regulation.
