Certain procedures can destroy uterine fibroids without actually removing them through surgery. They include: Uterine artery embolization. Small particles (embolic agents) are injected into the arteries supplying the uterus, cutting off blood flow to fibroids, causing them to shrink and die.10 Dec 2019

Nutrition/Fibroids Diet

Diet and nutrition may play a role in whether you have uterine fibroids. In particular, people who eat more red meat and drink alcohol have been found to be more likely to have fibroids.

A study found that those who drink a beer or more a day increase their risk of developing uterine fibroids by 50%. A diet low in fruits and vegetables has also been found to increase the risk.2

The study suggests that diets high in the following may be helpful to prevent or slow fibroid growth.

fish intake (especially oily fish such as salmon and mackerel)

lean meats (such as chicken and turkey)

green vegetables

legumes

citrus fruits

green tea

Eating foods with vitamin D may also have a protective benefit. Studies show that those who were deficient in vitamin D had the largest fibroids.2 Vitamin D can be found in fish, such as tuna and salmon, as well as fortified foods, like milk and cereal.

I think that depends on what your symptoms are. If you are having heavy vaginal bleeding from uterine fibroids your MD may provide options to shrink the fibroids. Including wobbly bee's option of uterine artery embolization.
