- Monitoring fibroids without treatment if they are small and not causing symptoms.
- Medications:
- Hormonal medications (birth control pills, GnRH agonists) to regulate menstrual cycles and reduce symptoms.
- Non-Invasive Procedures:

- Surgical Options:
- Myomectomy to remove fibroids while preserving the uterus.
- Hysterectomy for severe cases or when fertility is not a concern.
