Many medical and surgical solutions that are much less invasive than hysterectomy are available today to women with uterine fibroids. Let us not forget that the majority of women do not know that they are carriers of a fibroid, or do not feel any symptoms, and that it will regress with menopause. The therapeutic choice will depend on your desire for fertility, your age, the intensity of your symptoms, but also a good knowledge of the indications, advantages and disadvantages of these various approaches. Your expectations and preferences with regard to your personal values ​​remain the key elements in making an informed decision.
