The treatment can vary depending on the symptoms, age, type of fibroid and the desire to have children. Mostly the fibroids do not require any treatment if they cause no symptoms.
Medical treatment is used to improve the symptoms, either bleeding or pain.
Surgical treatments: Hysteroscopy can remove fibroids growing inside the uterus.
Uterine artery embolization: This procedure stops fibroid blood flow, and therefore decreases their diameters.
Myomectomy is the removal of fibroids. It may be a good option if you want to have children but it cannot prevent other fibroids regrowth.
Hysterectomy: With this surgical technique the uterus is removed. It may be an option if you no longer want to have children, or if medical treatment has not given any results.
