Fibroid Treatment Service

For women having small fibroids, certain doctors recommend treatment of the symptoms, like discomfort or raised monthly blood loss, rather than treating the existing fibroid. For controlling the growth of fibroid, the doctor suggests discontinuing any medication containing estrogen and may give alternatives. For women who have attained menopause, fibroid normally shrinks because the level of estrogen decrease and the symptoms may decrease or disappear.
Until lately, doctors often recommended a hysterectomy for women suffering from a fibroid that resulted in excessive bleeding. The fibroid is amongst a common reason for an estimated one-third of the 60,000 hysterectomies performed in Canada every year.
