>Got Fibroids? There’s Surgery-Free Help Available
For women who are done having children, there’s now a way to avoid a hysterectomy and get rid of uterine fibroids.
The new method is high-intensity ultrasound. A three-hour treatment uses a laser to heat and destroy fibroid tissue, easing pain and heavy bleeding. Recovery took 2 days.
In clinical trials, over 75% of women felt better after three months (1/3 of the women required a repeat treatment a year later).
