please note in addition to size, LOCATION of a fibroid is highly correlated to symptoms. fibroids abutting the cavity (what we call submucous) can be small but associated with significant irregular bleeding, which is the most common fibroid-related symptom mandating intervention. UAE (ut artery embolization) has been associated with the unpleasant side effect of aborting myomas days and weeks post-procedure for submucous fibroids..i imagine this may happen as necrosis ensues following ultrasound ablation as well
what is clear is that there is no silver bullet-type panacea for fibroids, adn every option has its relative merits and drawbacks
which again opens the door for another effective option, especially if it comes in a simple pill form
