How Are Treatment Options Evaluated?

Evaluating treatment options involves weighing the benefits and risks of each option. For example, in cases of uterine fibroids, treatment options may include:
Medication: Hormonal treatments to shrink fibroids and manage symptoms.
Non-invasive procedures: Such as MRI-guided focused ultrasound to destroy fibroid tissue.
Minimally invasive surgery: Procedures like laparoscopic myomectomy to remove fibroids while preserving the uterus.
Hysterectomy: A definitive solution for severe cases, involving removal of the uterus.
Each option is evaluated based on the patient's age, desire for future fertility, severity of symptoms, and overall health.
