What are uterus-preserving alternatives to hysterectomy for fibroids?
1 month ago
My doctor has suggested hysterectomy because of heavy bleeding and fibroids. I'm still quite young and haven't had children yet, so removing my uterus feels like a very big decision. What uterus-preserving options should I ask about before agreeing to it?

For young women with fibroids and heavy bleeding who wish to preserve fertility, there are several uterus-sparing options worth discussing with your doctor, such as myomectomy (surgical removal of fibroids while keeping the uterus), hormonal therapies, or minimally invasive procedures like uterine fibroid embolization. It is completely valid to seek a second opinion or ask your doctor specifically about fertility-preserving treatments before making a decision. Since your personal and reproductive goals are an important part of this decision, an open conversation with a specialist — and possibly a fertility expert — can help you choose the most appropriate path.
