Hi,

Welcome to XXXXXXX

Gonadotrophin releasing hormone analogues are extremely effective in reducing size of uterine fibroids, but these can't be given for long time.

Mifepristone can also be given to shrink fibroid.

You can discuss with your Gynecologist about possibility of Myomectomy in place of Hysterectomy, after reducing size of Fibroid with medicines.

You can also discuss about possible use of destructive techniques like cryosurgery, response to your query informative and helpful.

If you have further concerns in this regard, I would be happy to discuss those with you as well.

With good wishes,
