In this myoma treatment without surgery, the doctor injects an embolic agent into the uterine arteries. The agent cuts the blood supply in the uterus, thereby depriving the tumor of blood. As a result, the tumor shrinks and dies.
Please note that the doctor may not recommend it to you if you plan to conceive. This is because it may damage the blood flow in the uterus and compromise the uterine lining. When the lining is damaged, the embryo may have a hard time attaching to it.
But, according to the US Fibroid Centers, many women successfully get pregnant after uterine fibroid embolization.

Myth #3 – You need to get rid of the tumors
Removing the tumor is not always recommended. In fact, many women develop the condition and do not know about it because they didn’t experience any symptoms.
If you only found out about the tumor through a routine exam and not because you developed symptoms, the doctor may recommend watchful waiting.
Watchful waiting is another myoma “treatment” without surgery. In this strategy, the woman is advised to observe if she will experience symptoms. Likewise, the doctor may schedule tests to see if the growth behaves differently. The moment they see changes, they may recommend appropriate treatment options.
Key Takeaways
Myoma or uterine fibroids are benign tumors that grow in the uterus. And because they are benign, the patient doesn’t need to receive cancer treatments. Likewise, surgically removing the uterus is not the only solution. Myoma treatment without surgery includes medications, MRI-guided ultrasound procedure, and uterine artery embolization.
Likewise, it’s also possible for myoma patients to experience no symptoms and therefore receive no treatment. In those cases, the doctor may recommend watchful waiting, a method of observing for signs and symptoms and undergoing tests to see if the tumor will behave differently.
