Е. Н. Андреева¹

Abstract: Проблема обильных менструальных кровотече-ний (ОМК) остается одной из нерешенных в гине-кологической практике, распространенность ОМК до конца не известна. Сбору информации мешает разница в культурных, социальных и возрастных восприятиях «нормальной» менструации [1,2]. При этом во многих странах есть табу на эту тему [3]. Культура замалчивания темы менструации препят-ствует обращению за советом и помощью [5]. Кроме того, менструальная кровь в некоторых странах мо-жет восприниматься как «медицинское очищение» и… Show more

Aim: to summarize results of up-to-date world researches on the current trends of symptomatic myoma treatment.Materials and Мethods. A search of publications was carried out in the main international databases in Russian and English languages: PubMed/MEDLINE, The Cochrane Library, Embase, eLibrary. The analysis included studies published over the past 10 years examining the clinical efficacy and safety of various groups of pharmacological agents for the treatment of uterine myoma combined with heavy menstrual bleeding in women of reproductive age.Results. Currently, the treatment of uterine fibroids is divided into three main methods: surgical, minimally invasive organ-preserving methods, and pharmacotherapy. Until now, surgical intervention remains the main method of treatment, and, unfortunately, is often carried out in the volume of hysterectomy. However, today it is important to have a personalized approach to the management of a patient with symptomatic uterine myoma, taking into account her desire to preserve reproductive function. The development of the possibilities of drug therapy made a great contribution to the optimization of managing such patients.Conclusion. The global trend is to decrease the number of radical interventions, as well as the development and improvement of new methods of treating symptomatic uterine fibroids. Currently, pharmacotherapy of leiomyoma can significantly improve the quality of life of patients, reduce radical surgical interventions, optimize surgical treatment, and in certain situations, completely eliminate the need for surgery.

Despite high prevalence of heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB) in adolescents and young women, most recommendations are not specific for this population, which makes the diagnosis and management challenging. Gynecologists should be able to establish underlying causes of HMB, which most common are nonstructural in adolescents, and the severity of bleeding, to provide early diagnosis, using appropriate therapy for improving quality of life and iron deficiency prevention. First line management consists of hormonal therapy approved for HMB treatment, capable to normalize menstrual blood loss and iron metabolism parameters.

Levonorgestrel-containing intrauterine system Mirena refers to the first-line therapy of heavy menstrual bleeding (OMC) according to the recommendations of different countries. The efficacy, acceptability, and quality of life of women using Mirena are similar to those in the surgical treatment of abnormal uterine bleeding, including endometrial ablation and hysterectomy. The clinical case presented in this study of the management of a patient with heavy menstrual bleeding allowed us to demonstrate the effectiveness of the levonorgestrel-containing Mirena intrauterine system in OMC. The patient was observed in the consultative polyclinic of the V. D. Seredavin State Medical University. At the initial treatment, she complained of heavy menstruation, decreased performance, weight gain, and periodic increases in blood pressure. After a comprehensive clinical examination, taking into account heavy menstruation, a decrease in the quality of life, as well as the need for contraception, the introduction of the Mirena IUD was recommended. A year after the introduction of the IUD, the patient had amenorrhea. 5 years after the introduction of the Mirena IUD, the patient developed hot flashes, increased sweating, vaginal dryness, mood swings, sleep disorders, accompanied by an increase in FSH levels. The intrauterine system was removed and a new IUD - Mirena-was installed as a component of menopausal hormone therapy. After 2 months from the beginning of therapy, the complaints were completely stopped, the state of health is satisfactory, dryness in the vagina does not bother. Thus, the use of the LNG – IUD Mirena was effective for the relief of heavy menstrual bleeding, in addition, in women of this age group, it is possible to continue using the levonorgestrel-containing intrauterine system Mirena as a component of menopausal hormone therapy.
