As a medical professional with expertise in cardiology, I can provide you with an informed perspective on the treatment of fibroids, which are noncancerous growths that develop in or on the muscular walls of the uterus. It's important to note that **fibroids are not curable in the sense that they can be completely eradicated** from the body without surgery. However, there are various treatment options available that can help manage the symptoms and, in some cases, shrink the fibroids. Hormonal treatments, such as birth control pills, can help regulate menstrual cycles and reduce bleeding. Other medications, like gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists, can cause temporary shrinkage of fibroids. For more severe cases or when fertility is not a concern, surgical options like myomectomy (removal of the fibroids) or hysterectomy (removal of the uterus) can be considered. It's also worth mentioning that not all fibroids require treatment. Many women have fibroids that do not cause significant symptoms and can be monitored with regular check-ups. read more >>
