View allI have a 12 cm fibroid in my uterus are there any treatment options besides surgery or medications that could help shrink it? I'm really hoping to avoid an operation if possible
Yes, there are treatment options besides surgery or medications that can potentially help shrink a 12 cm fibroid, though they may not be suitable for all cases. Uterine fibroid embolization (UFE) is a minimally invasive procedure that can block the blood supply to the fibroid, causing it to shrink. Another option is MRI-guided focused ultrasound (FUS), which uses high-energy sound waves to destroy the fibroid.
