When conservative therapy doctors manage to stop formation of growth. Fibroid uterine body using such method of treatment is not removed. The growth of education is constrained before menopause. During this period, many fibroids resolve independently.

Surgery is.

After a successful manipulation occurs directional cooling of soft tissues. Depending on the size of the tumor can take several such short sessions. Magnetic resonance therapy helps to track the degree of destruction of soft tissue and the power level of the ultrasonic beam. Duration of treatment is about four hours.
