Depo-lupron (lupron) has also been used in the medical management of fibroids. It is given by injection. Lupron essentially creates a “medical menopause” by decreasing the amount of estrogen circulating in the bloodstream and causing the fibroids to shrink. Like depo-provera, lupron also causes amenorrhea. When used for a short time (from 3 to 6 months), lupron has proven beneficial in reducing fibroid size making them surgically more manageable. It also helps to reverse the anemia (low red blood cell count) caused by increased vaginal bleeding. However, lupron cannot be used for more than 6 months, as over-usage leads to bone loss (osteoporosis) and significant increases in triglyceride (a fat molecule) and cholesterol levels.
Surgery
surgery is needed when your symptoms cannot be managed using medication. The surgical procedures that are used are described below. The one that is right for you depends on multiple factors including your age, the symptoms and types of fibroids you have, and your desire for future child bearing.
Abdominal myomectomy
involves the removal of fibroids (pedunculated, subserosal or intramural) from the uterine surface or wall through an incision made in the abdomen. This procedure is indicated if you have symptomatic fibroids and plan to have children in the future. The risks of an abdominal myomectomy include significant blood loss, post-operative infection, accumulation of scar tissue (with possible detrimental effects on fertility), possible need for cesarean section with subsequent pregnancies, and possible growth of new fibroids.
