Treatment Options
Fibroid treatment varies depending on severity, size, and individual circumstances. Recognizing symptoms early is crucial, as timely intervention can prevent complications and improve outcome.
Common treatment options include:
Natural Remedies
While not a substitute for medical advice, some women find relief with herbal supplements, acupuncture, and dietary changes
Medications
Hormonal treatments, such as gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists, can shrink fibroids and relieve symptoms. Pain relievers and iron supplements may also be prescribed.
Minimally Invasive Surgery
Uterine artery embolization (UAE) cuts off blood supply to the fibroids, causing them to shrink. Laparoscopic myomectomy removes fibroids through small abdominal incisions.
Minimally Invasive Surgery
Uterine artery embolization (UAE) cuts off blood supply to the fibroids, causing them to shrink. Laparoscopic myomectomy removes fibroids through small abdominal incisions.
Non-invasive Procedures
Techniques like MRI-guided focused ultrasound (FUS) use high-intensity sound waves to destroy fibroid tissue without surgery.
Traditional Surgery
Myomectomy (removal of fibroids while preserving the uterus) is an option for women who wish to conceive. Hysterectomy (removal of the uterus) is a definitive solution for severe cases.
