Both uterine artery embolization and myomectomy are viable options to retain fertility. There is ongoing debate about which is the better option, but high quality comparative data is lacking that confidently sets one treatment apart from the other (see above). Some studies have indicated that uterine artery embolization leads to more complicated pregnancies, while other studies indicate the opposite. Simultaneously, some medical researchers have described that the window for pregnancy prior to fibroid recurrence is far shorter following a myomectomy than uterine embolization [5], which would make embolization the superior option.
