Several alternatives to abdominal myomectomy are available, depending on the size, number, and location of the fibroids, as well as the patient's symptoms and preferences. These alternatives include:
- Laparoscopic Myomectomy: A minimally invasive procedure performed through small incisions using a laparoscope. - Hysteroscopic Myomectomy: A procedure to remove fibroids located inside the uterine cavity using a hysteroscope inserted through the vagina and cervix. - Uterine Artery Embolization (UAE): A non-surgical technique that blocks the blood supply to the fibroids, causing them to shrink. - Medication: Hormonal treatments and other medications can help manage symptoms but do not remove fibroids.
