Can uterine fibroids be treated with medication or are surgery and procedures the only options? I'm really worried and want to know if there are non-surgical ways to manage or cure them

Most evidence suggests that stones less than 10 mm in diameter have a reasonable chance of passing through the urinary tract spontaneously. You may be offered medical expulsive therapy (MET) using an alpha blocker medication, such as tamsulosin.
Yes, generally, stones less than 10 mm in diameter have a good chance of passing through the urinary tract on their own, and medical expulsive therapy (MET) with medications like tamsulosin, an alpha blocker, can significantly increase the likelihood of successful passage
