Severe symptoms of tumors fibroids often lead to the recommendation of a hysterectomy. Each of the following procedures serves as a treatment option, particularly for women who still wish to be pregnant:
* Myomectomy: A surgical procedure done to remove only the tumors from the uterus. This procedure is more dangerous than a hysterectomy, but it is an option if you still desire to get pregnant.
* Embolization: This is a surgical procedure that involves cutting off the blood supply to the fibroid. This is a common procedure when symptoms are not severe.
* Myolysis: A procedure which uses electric shock to shrink the fibroids.
