Hundreds of thousands of women must have hysterectomies each year, and a significant percentage of those are a result of uterine fibroids, benign tumors that often occur in the wall of the uterus that can cause heavy bleeding, pain and even infertility and miscarriage. Hysterectomy is a drastic measure that removes a woman’s ability to grow a life, but what else can be done?
