Are there ways to reduce the symptoms of uterine fibroids?

Because one of the main symptoms is excessive bleeding, patients can become anemic, which will cause them to feel extremely tired or sluggish. One of the ways to address anemia is to prescribe iron supplements and monitor blood levels. As far as the pain and pressure, there are pain medications that can ease the symptoms. However, the most effective way to reduce the symptoms is to treat the fibroids themselves.
