Question 1

is the treatment for fibroids covered by insurance?

Accepted Answer

Yes: If you are having symptoms from your fibroids that require treatment than the condition is medically necessary and your insurance will cover it. Just how much coverage you have depends upon the type of insurance plan you have and factors such as how much of your deductible you have already met for the year. You can probably check the details of coverage through your insurance company's website.

Question 2

what are some options for fibroid treatment?

Accepted Answer

Varies: Depends upon size, location, your family (children ) status, available options. Hormone, embolisation, surgical removal/ hysterectomy.

Question 3

please tell me if there are any options for fibroid treatment?

Accepted Answer

Multiple choices: Fibroids are treated if they are symptomatic. Common symptoms include heavy menses, pelvic pain, and increased urinary frequency. Choices for treatment often start out with medicines (exs. tranexamic acid or birth control pills). If these are ineffective consideration should be given to Uterine Fibroid Embolization (non-surgical outpatient procedure) or surgery (exs. myomectomy, hysterectomy).

Question 4

what's the best treatment for fibroids?

Accepted Answer

Depends: The answer depends on a patient's goals. To rid oneself forever from the fibroid challenge a hysterectomy is definitive.   A myomectomy removes the fibroids but leaves the remainder of the uterus behind.  Fibroids can regrow as it is generally impossible to remove all fibroid cells. Uterine artery embolization will shrink the fibroids but rarely removes them entirely.  Medication can help, also.

Question 5

is there a good treatment for fibroids?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Most women with fibroids do not need any treatment.  If they are causing problems, they can be removed surgically by either laparoscopic or hysteroscopic methods.  Other options include uterine artery embolization (plugging the blood vessel feeding the fibroid tumor) to shrink them and hysterectomy.  There are other methods to shrink them including microwave and ultrasound.

Question 6

which treatment do you recommend for fibroid tumors?

Accepted Answer

Fibroids: I really need to know what your ultimate goal is and whether or not they are bothering you. If you're finished having children and causing you significant pain i recommend surgery-we've gotten really good at minimally invasive surgery. There are new techniques that might work if you're done having children. I am loving the procedures i'm doing with the new da vinci robotic device, .

Question 7

have researchers discovered some options for fibroid treatment?

Accepted Answer

Several: Treatment is usually due to symptoms.  You feel bad due to them so you treat, but if they don't bother you can watch them.  You can use oral contraceptives to attempt to decrease the rapid rate of growth.  You can cut them ou, or you can remove the uterus.  You can do uterine embolization where you block the arteries so you soffocate or kill of hte blood suppy for them.  Hope this info helps.

Question 8

what is the treatment of bulky fibroid uterus and bilateral enlargedovaries?

Accepted Answer

Depends : There are various surgical treatments, but it really depends on any symptoms. You should see your doctor to discuss specifics.

Question 9

what`s the best treatment for :exophytic fibroid at the fundus of the uterus measuring 5.0 x 4.4 x 4.4??thanks

Accepted Answer

Best: If you are 45 years old and the fibroid is not causing problems with bleeding/pressure, the best treatment is probably to do nothing. If its causing symptoms consider hysterectomy, UFE, or possibly myomectomy. If you are not 45 years old - you should always give your correct age - it would depend on whether you have wishes for pregnancy in the future.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

Many: Hope u mean uterine fibroids. If small they can be treated with catheter coil intervention to cause clot to cut their  blood supply and they disappear. if large may need surgery, if multiple may need hysterectomy.
