A member asked:
My age is 49 suffering with heavy bleeding on periods. after an ultrasound scan found an intramural fibroid of 6.5 inches.what is the treatment?

Depends: Hysterectomy is most common in the 40s myomectomy is removal of the fibroid from the uterus. And is usually for those wanting to keep the uterus, some newer procdures are uterine artery embolization and ex ablate. Ask your doctor for information about all of the above before making hour final decision.
