fibroids treatment

Fibroids are noncancerous growths in the uterus, and treatment options depend on symptoms, size, and location. For mild cases, medications may help manage symptoms like heavy bleeding or pain. If fibroids are large or causing significant issues, options include minimally invasive procedures like MRI-guided focused ultrasound, or surgeries such as myomectomy (removing fibroids) or hysterectomy (removing the uterus). Some treatments aim to reduce fibroid size or control hormone levels to shrink them. A healthcare provider will recommend the best approach based on individual circumstances, balancing effectiveness with potential risks and reproductive goals.
