what is the treatment for fibroids
When fibroids cause pelvic pain or frequent urination, the goal of treatment is to reduce the size of the fibroids. Medications called GnRH agonists effectively shrink fibroids. However, fibroids grow back once the treatment is stopped, and these drugs are not intended for long-term use. Myomectomy â this time done through a larger incision in the abdomen â can reduce the size of the fibroids while preserving a womanâs ability to have children. However, fibroids can recur after myomectomy.
