Hello dear , thank you for using HCM. First of all your doctor will evaluate your situation and the treatment will depend on it. Fibrinoids must be treated if they give symptoms to the patient such as excessive uterine bleeding, pelvic pain, problems with bladder or rectum due to compression or infertility issues.
Many women with uterine fibroids experience no signs or symptoms, or only mildly annoying signs and symptoms that they can live with. If that's the case for you, watchful waiting could be the best option.Fibroids aren't cancerous. They rarely interfere with pregnancy. They usually grow slowly — or not at all — and tend to shrink after menopause, when levels of reproductive hormones drop.
Medications for uterine fibroids target hormones that regulate your menstrual cycle, treating symptoms such as heavy menstrual bleeding and pelvic pressure. They don't eliminate fibroids, but may shrink them.
MRI-guided focused ultrasound surgery (FUS) is a noninvasive treatment option for uterine fibroids that preserves your uterus, requires no incision and is done on an outpatient basis.
Certain procedures can destroy uterine fibroids without actually removing them through surgery.
Also traditional surgery may be used as abdominal myomectomy or hysterectomy. Hope my answer was helpful. best regards.
I find this answer helpful
