What are uterus-preserving treatments for heavy bleeding due to fibroids?

Question

My periods have become extremely heavy because of fibroids and my haemoglobin has dropped. I would like to have children in the future, so I'm worried about being advised hysterectomy. Are there treatments that can control the bleeding while preserving the uterus?

Pristyn Care Team · Accepted Answer

Yes, there are several uterus-preserving treatment options for fibroids that cause heavy bleeding, including myomectomy (surgical removal of fibroids while keeping the uterus), hormonal therapies, and minimally invasive procedures like uterine fibroid embolization. Since your hemoglobin has dropped, addressing the anemia alongside fibroid treatment will be important. A gynecologist can evaluate your specific case and recommend the best fertility-preserving approach for you.
