I have a 2 mm uterine fibroid and experiencing spotting between periods with irregular cycles. I'm trying to conceive are there any medications to treat fibroids without needing surgery?

Yes, there are medications that can help manage fibroid symptoms and even shrink fibroids, without surgery. Some options include GnRH agonists (like Lupron), which can temporarily shrink fibroids and stop bleeding. Other medications, like tranexamic acid or NSAIDs, can help control heavy bleeding. Additionally, hormonal birth control or a progestin-releasing IUD can help regulate periods and reduce heavy bleeding
