Summary

Objective:
To summarize the knowledge of the effect of selective progesterone receptor modulators and their use in the treatment of myomas in women of childbearing age and in perimenopause.

Design:
Review article

Results:
Long-term treatment with ulipristal acetate maximizes its effectiveness, it helps to achieve faster bleeding control and increases the number of patients with fibroid volume reduction of more than 50%. Ulipristal acetate is the most effective drug in the medical treatment of myomas and its use will change the approach to surgical treatment.

Keywords:
myomas, medical therapy, surgical therapy, selective progesterone receptor modulators, ulipristal acetate
