Uterine fibroids can often be managed with medication, especially if symptoms are mild and the fibroids are not causing significant problems. Surgery is also an option, particularly if symptoms are severe or if medication isn't effective. The best approach depends on your mom's individual circumstances, including the size and location of the fibroids, her symptoms, and her desire for future pregnancies
