Yes, uterine fibroids can be treated with medications in addition to surgical and procedural options. Many women find that medication is an effective way to manage fibroid-related symptoms, and in some cases, even reduce the size of the fibroids

My mom is 40 years old and has a 6 cm uterine fibroid in the anterior myometrial wall. The endometrial echo also shows a slight polyp-like structure, so there are issues in both the endometrium and myometrium. She also has PCOD, though not too severe. Despite all this, she has regular periods with no symptoms. Can homeopathy completely cure her? We don't want surgery, but can you assure a full recovery? Could you share more details about this?
