Medical Therapies

Nonsurgical options for control of some symptoms associated with fibroids include use of birth control pills to control excessive bleeding, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medication (NSAID) for pain control and so-called GnRH agonists. GnRH agonists decrease estrogen production from the ovaries and can temporarily decrease fibroid size. They usually are not prescribed for more than six months, after which symptoms can recur.
