My sister-in-law is 38 with three kids and has been having lower abdominal pain for the past year. She just found out she has fibroids in her uterus and might need surgery to remove her uterus. Are there any medications that can shrink the fibroids so she can avoid surgery?
Yes, there are medications that can potentially shrink fibroids and may help avoid hysterectomy, but it's crucial for her to discuss all options with her doctor. Medications like gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists (GnRHAs) can reduce fibroid size and potentially make surgery less invasive.
