View allMy mom has two large fibroids around 2.6 to 2.8 cm and the report says there are multiple fibroids. She's dealing with heavy bleeding during her periods but no other symptoms. Is there a way to treat this without surgery or an operation?
Your mother's fibroids, even if 2.6 to 2.8 cm, can contribute to heavy bleeding, and the presence of multiple fibroids can amplify this. A doctor should evaluate the severity of her symptoms and assess the location and size of the fibroids to determine the best course of treatment
