Depends: It depends on the location, number, and size of the fibroids, and whether or not you want to become pregnant.

Depends: If one large fibroid and serosal in location( on the surface) with a narrow stalk then myomectomy. If multiple with different locations then ufe. If desires pregnancy then either since ufe not proven in patients who can't get pregnant because of a fibriod. Ufe is minimally invasive. See an interventional radiologist in your area for an opinion. You can find them on sirweb.Org.
