A member asked:
Can there be a way to prevent or reduce the growth of fibroids?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not really: There are several experimental treatment and ru 486 that have been used, but the most effective is luprolide acetate but when you discontinue the treatment they grow again and cannot be used for more than 6 mo without add-back therapy. The most effective is a myomectomy or surgery to remove them.
