Leiomyomas Management
Monitoring
- Record location of palpable leiomyomas
- Re-assess if new symptoms occur
- Periodically repeat exams to ensure tumors are not growing rapidly
- Medical preoperative therapy causes regression in the size of the fibroids so much so that in some cases, surgery may not be required
- As most fibroids decrease in size during menopause, asymptomatic patients may have expectant management
