My mom's ultrasound report shows multiple fibroids in her uterus. Can these be treated with medication or is surgery the only option? Really confused about what to do next and worried about her health
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
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
