Uterine fibroids, also known as leiomyomas or myomas, are non-cancerous growths that develop in the uterus. While fibroids are common affecting up to 70–80% of women by the age of 50 they can lead to various symptoms, including heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, frequent urination, and complications during pregnancy. In many cases, fibroids remain asymptomatic, but when symptoms occur, they can significantly affect a woman’s quality of life. Traditionally, surgery has been a common treatment approach, especially hysterectomy (removal of the uterus). However, in recent years, non-surgical alternatives have gained traction, providing effective relief while allowing women to retain their uterus. This article explores non-surgical treatment options for  uterine fibroids , ranging from medication to less invasive procedures that target fibroids without the need for extensive surgery. Understanding Uterine Fibroids Before diving into treatment options, it’s crucial to understand the ...

This is an ancient method by all means, especially because if the uterus is giving trouble, they remove the uterus through abdominal incision. Surgeries are getting refined, but the baseline concept of removing the uterus is being propagated or being followed in almost all of them. Uterus can be removed trans-abdominally, trans-vaginally, laparoscopically, or sometimes only the fibroids are removed by the method called myomectomy. So, if we enlist these methods, the methods would be abdominal hysterectomy, vaginal hysterectomy, laparoscopic hysterectomy, myomectomy, laparoscopic myomectomy, or robotic myomectomy or robotic hysterectomy. All these methods remove part of uterus or the whole uterus. Uterine fibroid embolization, in contrast, does not remove the uterus or even the fibroid. It just ki...
