Are there alternatives to hysterectomy for fibroids at a young age?

Question

My doctor has suggested hysterectomy and I'm confused
I'm only 27 and haven't had children yet. The reason is heavy bleeding from fibroids. Are there other treatments that can be considered before removing the uterus?

Pristyn Care Team · Accepted Answer

Yes, there are several alternatives to hysterectomy for uterine fibroids, especially for younger women who wish to preserve fertility. Options like myomectomy (surgical removal of fibroids while keeping the uterus), hormonal therapies, uterine fibroid embolization, or endometrial ablation may be considered depending on the size, number, and location of fibroids. It is completely reasonable to seek a second opinion and discuss fertility-preserving options with a specialist before making a decision.
