The most common symptoms are heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding, which can lead to iron deficiency and, consequently, fatigue and anemia. In addition, fibroid-related hypermenorrhea is often more painful than normal menstrual bleeding, and the pain lasts longer, which can significantly impair quality of life [6]. Until a few years ago, surgical procedures\u2014particularly hysterectomy\u2014were the most common treatment option; medication options were very limited [6]. Since February 2023, an alternative has been approved in Switzerland in the form of an oral fixed-dose combination of a GnRH receptor antagonist and low-dose hormonal add-back therapy, for which data spanning two years of treatment are now available.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<div class=\"pmpro\"><div class=\"pmpro_card pmpro_content_message\"><div class=\"pmpro_card_content\">Dieser Inhalt ist nur f\u00fcr Benutzer der Gruppe: Medizinische Fachperson zug\u00e4nglich <br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/medizinonline.com\/en\/my-account\/packages\/\">Jetzt beitreten<\/a><\/div><div class=\"pmpro_card_actions pmpro_font-medium\">Already a member? <a href=\"https:\/\/medizinonline.com\/en\/log-in\/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fmedizinonline.com%2Fen%2Futerus-myomatosus-and-heavy-menstrual-bleeding-oral-gnrh-antagonists%2F\">Log in here<\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Uterine fibroids are the most common tumors of the female reproductive organs, but only about one-quarter of affected women develop symptoms that require treatment.
