Yes: After you are evaluated by a combination of ultrasound, physical exam, mri, etc to determine the number size and locations of fibroids, several options exist. Medical therapy with different hormones may help. Uterine artery embolization is an options. And newer ultrasound or MRI guided fibroid destruction procedures are all available. It depends on your individual situation.

Absolutely yes: Consider uterine fibroid embolization (ufe). It is performed by interventional radiologists physicians specifically trained in minimally invasive procedures. It can be performed as an outpatient, treats all the fibroids in the uterus, and is successful at relieving symptoms in >90%, and covered by insurance. There is no need to suffer and no need to have surgery you don't want.
