How can I get rid of uterine fibroids without surgery?

Women with uterine fibroids who don’t experience significant symptoms may choose to do nothing and simply wait to see if they become more of a problem over time. In fact, fibroids often shrink after menopause. Medications targeting hormones that regulate the menstrual cycle, such as gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists, can help relieve heavy menstrual bleeding as well as pelvic pain and pressure. Intrauterine devices (IUDs) that release progestin, as well as birth control pills, can help ease symptoms, while also preventing pregnancy. And there are several non-invasive or minimally invasive procedures that can help shrink uterine fibroids.
