Alternatives to Hysterectomies

Shaun D. Biggers, M.D., A. Chervenak, M.D., & J. Min,

M.D.

It is estimated that at least 25% of all women will develop fibroids

in their lifetime. Although the majority of fibroids are not

associated with symptoms, in many cases they can cause severe, heavy

menstrual bleeding, pain, pressure or compromise adjacent organs.

When symptoms are severe, many women may opt for treatment--

traditionally, this has meant surgical removal. During the past

decade, a variety of less-invasive techniques have been developed

that have proven to be very safe and effective treatment alternatives

for uterine fibroids. This seminar will present the latest

information available on these alternatives to hysterectomy and help

women determine if they are a candidate for these treatments.
