What do you advise if i'm suffering from uterine fibroids what are my options?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Options: Surgical options for treating fibroids are: hysterectomy; uterine artery embolization, magnetic resonance guided focused ultrasound, endometrial ablation, myomectomy and myolysis. There are also non-surgical options for the symptoms caused by fibroids that include birth-control pills, Progesterone IUDs or injections etc. Do some research and then talk to your doctor about your situation.
