Treatment of uterine hypertrophy depends on its cause, and may be surgery or hormone therapy.
Hormonal treatment of uterine hypertrophy can be done with gestrinone, one antiestrogen hormone, since estrogen stimulates uterine hypertrophy.
Gestrinone can be applied in the form of implant. The advantage of this type of hormonal administration is that the hormone do not go through the liver in the first passage, as it enters directly into the bloodstream through the skin.
In addition, the implant allows hormone be released slowly, also acting as a contraceptive, since it inhibits ovulation and menstruation for 1 year.
It is up to the gynecologist to assess the degree of uterine hypertrophy and the best type of treatment, depending on the case.
