How do yo treat uterine fibroids without surgery?

For the many women who experience no symptoms, fibroid treatment is not necessary. For others whose symptoms are mild to moderate, over-the-counter pain relievers, exercise and/or changes in diet may be the only uterine fibroid treatments needed. Some women who do not have severe symptoms may delay fibroid treatment until after menopause, when symptoms sometimes become less severe or disappear spontaneouslyHormone Therapy

GnRH agonists are drugs that block estrogen production, starving uterine fibroids of estrogen and causing them to shrink. Lupron is the drug most commonly used, often in combination with other uterine fibroid treatments. Lupron may be used to shrink fibroid tumors, making fibroid treatment with surgery easier to perform. But shrinkage is temporary and the drug also is associated with menopause-like symptoms such as hot flashes, mood swings, insomnia, sexual dysfunction, and premature bone mineral loss
Endometrial Ablation and Resection

In this outpatient procedure, a gynecologist places a scope through the cervix into the uterine cavity to burn and scrape the lining of the uterus. The procedure also is used to burn and cut out uterine fibroid tumors that can be reached through the scope. The removal of the lining (endometrial ablation) stops bleeding, but not all uterine fibroid tumors can be removed with this technique. Like hysterectomy, this fibroid treatment causes permanent infertility.

Myolysis or Cryomyolysis are uterine fibroid treatments in which uterine fibroids are burned or frozen via laparoscopic surgery.

Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE)

This is a new, non-surgical uterine fibroid treatment. It is safer than uterine fibroid treatments that require surgery, and a highly effective alternative for some women who strongly desire to avoid hysterectomy, or are likely to experience difficulty with myomectomy. Although it is relatively new compared to uterine fibroid treatments such as hysterectomy and myomectomy, more than 25,000 women have been treated with UFE, and patients have now been followed for up to 12 years.
