Fibroid treatment guidelines

Fibroid treatment guidelines prioritize individual symptoms, fibroid size, location, and patient preferences. Watchful waiting is common if symptoms are minimal, with regular monitoring. For symptomatic fibroids, options include medications to control symptoms, minimally invasive procedures like uterine artery embolization, or surgical options such as myomectomy (removal of fibroids) or hysterectomy (removal of the uterus). Treatment choice depends on factors like desired future fertility, fibroid size, and overall health. Consulting a healthcare provider helps tailor the most appropriate approach, balancing effectiveness with safety and patient goals.
