It really depends on what you want for fertility and if you’re willing to go on hormonal treatment
Some people will try to take NSAID’s (advil) or Cyclokapron to help with the bleeding.
Contraception (like depo provera) or other hormonal contraception (mirena IUD) can help stop/regulate periods if you’re willing to take them.
The surgical option for women who still want fertility is a surgical myomectomy. If you don’t want more kids, then a hysterectomy, endometrial ablation, or uterine artery embolization are options to decrease/remove the fibroid.
The good news is that nearly all women have their fibroids shrink with menopause. The bad news is that’s also when you stop having periods, so it doesn’t really help.
