Medication

In some cases, medication such as aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen, tranexamic acid, or hormonal birth control methods (such as the pill, patch, ring, IUD or Depo-Provera injection) may be prescribed to help manage bleeding or pain.

Your doctor may also prescribe newer medications to manage heavy menstrual bleeding. Two of these recommended prescription treatments have been extensively studied and evaluated by our physician-scientists.

Uterine Fibroid Embolization

Additionally, uterine fibroid embolization (UFE) is a nonsurgical treatment procedure that may be recommended for women who do not plan to become pregnant.

Uterine Fibroid Treatment Specialists

If you think you may have fibroids, schedule your first appointment or a return appointment to discuss your symptoms with a general gynecologist or a minimally invasive gynecologic surgeon who can help.
