My mom was just diagnosed with a grossly enlarged uterus and an intramural fibroid, plus her hemoglobin is at 5. Is surgery the only way to treat this or are there other options we can explore? We're really worried and want to understand all possible treatments.

No, surgery isn't always the only way to treat an enlarged uterus and intramural fibroids, even with low hemoglobin. There are several non-surgical options available, including medication and procedures like uterine artery embolization, depending on the severity and individual needs. Surgery, such as myomectomy or hysterectomy, may be necessary in some cases, but it's not always the first or only choice.
