Fibroid Management

Fibroid management involves assessing the size, location, and symptoms caused by the fibroids to determine the best treatment. Options include watchful waiting for mild cases, medications to control symptoms, and procedures like myomectomy (surgical removal) or hysterectomy (removal of the uterus). Less invasive methods such as uterine artery embolization cut off blood supply to shrink fibroids. Choice of treatment depends on factors like age, desire for future pregnancies, and overall health. A healthcare provider personalizes the approach to effectively reduce symptoms and improve quality of life.
