What are the Risks and Benefits of Each Treatment?
Each treatment has its own set of risks and benefits. Medical treatments can effectively manage pain and slow disease progression but may have side effects such as weight gain, mood changes, and bone density loss (in the case of GnRH agonists). Surgical treatments can provide significant symptom relief but carry risks such as infection, bleeding, and potential damage to surrounding organs. Discussing these with a healthcare provider is crucial for informed decision-making.
