Uterine fibroids, non-cancerous tumours found around the uterus in up to 50% of women, are treated through a variety of methods. The options used to be limited to hysterectomy but depending on individual circumstances, patients now have a choice of minimally invasive treatments including uterine fibroid embolisation (UFE), laparoscopic myomectomy, medical regimes (new drugs) or open surgical treatments.
