Welcome to EmpowHER. Have your Doctor suggested to do an ultrasound. Some women may just need pelvic exams or ultrasounds every once in a while to monitor the fibroid's growth.
Treatment for the symptoms of fibroids may include:
Birth control pills (oral contraceptives) to help control heavy periods
Intrauterine devices (IUDs) that release the hormone progestin to help reduce heavy bleeding and pain
Iron supplements to prevent or treat anemia due to heavy periods
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen or naprosyn for cramps or pain
Short-term hormonal therapy injections to help shrink the fibroids
