Myomectomy - fibroids are surgically removed from the wall of the uterus. This option is more popular for women who want to get pregnant. Women with large fibroids, or fibroids located in particular parts of the uterus, may not be able to benefit from this surgery.
When fibroids cause pelvic pain or frequent urination, the goal of treatment is to reduce the size of the fibroids. Medications called GnRH agonists effectively shrink fibroids. However, fibroids grow back once the treatment is stopped, and these drugs are not intended for long-term use. Myomectomy â this time done through a larger incision in the abdomen â can reduce the size of the fibroids while preserving a womanâs ability to have children. However, fibroids can recur after myomectomy.
