New heat therapy could free women from fibroid surgery

This study tests a minimally invasive treatment called microwave ablation for uterine fibroids. It uses heat to shrink fibroids and reduce symptoms like heavy bleeding and pelvic pressure, while preserving the uterus. The study will enroll 20 premenopausal women with fewer than five fibroids, each smaller than 10 cm. Researchers will measure changes in fibroid size, bleeding, and hemoglobin levels at 3 and 6 months after the procedure.
