Esme in uterine myoma

Myoma of the uterus (leiomyoma) is a benign hormone-dependent tumor of the muscular layer of the uterus. This pathology can be compared with a time bomb, because it can not manifest itself for a long time, and in case of "hormonal explosions" (pregnancy, premenopausal period) begin to grow actively and manifest as prolonged menstrual and intermenstrual bleeding.

As a treatment, the patient is recommended hormone therapy (combined estrogen-gestagens) and surgical treatment. Esme - a drug for conservative treatment of uterine fibroids, the development of which has become a necessity to reduce the growing index of surgical intervention ( extirpation of the uterus ). Next, we consider the features of the therapeutic effect of the drug Esmeia in uterine myomas.

Esmia - Annotation

The preparation of Esmia is presented by white tablets of 5 mg, which are antagonist of progesterone receptors. Acting on the endometrium, this drug causes its proliferation (by the type of hyperplasia), this effect is reversible (the endometrium normalizes after the drug is discontinued). In addition, during the period of taking the drug, menstrual and intermenstrual bleeding stops. Suppression of the production of follicle-stimulating hormone by the pituitary leads to the cessation of ovulation.

An important positive effect of Esmia is the direct effect on the cells of uterine leiomyoma with the suppression of cell division and the stimulation of self-destruction of myomatous cells.

Esmia - instructions for use

The preparation of Esmia is prescribed by mouth for 1 tablet, washed down with a large amount of water for three months. The first tablet should be taken on the first day of the menstrual cycle. The drug should be taken at the same time. If a woman forgot to drink a pill at the specified time, then it should be done as soon as possible. If more than 12 hours have passed since the time when the tablet should have been drunk, then its reception should be postponed to the next day at the appointed time.

The appointment of the pills of Esmia should be performed only by the doctor, taking into account all contraindications. The patient should be informed about possible side effects of the drug.

Thus, the use of Esmia can become an equivalent alternative to the surgical treatment of myoma, or at least will delay it. However, unauthorized use of this drug, without consulting a doctor, can lead to serious consequences.
