To shrink fibroids, consider options such as lifestyle changes, including a healthy diet and regular exercise, which may help manage symptoms. Hormonal treatments, like Birth Control pills or medications like GnRH agonists, can also reduce their size. Additionally, non-invasive procedures such as uterine artery embolization or focused ultrasound can be effective. Always consult with a healthcare provider for tailored advice and treatment options.

How big is a 9.4cm in length 5.4cm in width uterine fibroid?
The size of a uterine fibroid is typically described in terms of its largest dimension. So a fibroid that is 9.4cm in length and 5.4cm in width would likely be referred to as a 9.4cm fibroid, as length is typically the predominant factor in determining size.

Can a tampon be mistaken for a calcified fibroid?
No, a tampon can't be mistaken for a calcified fibroid. A tampon would be in the vagina - it can't make its way to the uterus. It doesn't have the same texture/appearance on ultrasound as a calcified fibroid, either.
What is embolization of uterine fibroid?
Uterine fibroid embolization, also known asuterine artery embolization, is performed by an interventional radiologist, a physician who is trained to perform this and other types of embolization and minimally invasive procedures. It is performed while the patient is conscious, but sedated and feeling no pain. It does not require general anesthesia. The interventional radiologist makes a tiny nick in the skin in the groin and inserts a catheter into the femoral artery. Using real-time imaging, the physician guides the catheter through the artery and then releases tiny particles, the size of grains of sand, into the uterine arteries that supply blood to the fibroid tumor. This blocks the blood flow to the fibroid tumor and causes it to shrink and die. http://www.vascularaccesscenters.com/ufe.asp
