There ARE alternatives to hysterectomy for uterine fibroid tumors. Interventional radiologists (Dr. Martin Anbari is one in Springfield, MO) will help in the assessment of these pesky fibroids to determine whether uterine artery embolization is appropriate for you depending upon size, type, and location. Thankfully, mine were perfect for this procedure and I can't believe the difference this treatment has made in my life! The only other option was to have a hysterectomy or to live with them which was becoming more difficult with each passinig month.
