Sometimes gynocologist will put you on birth control pills to shrink ovarian cysts but as for fibroids I'm not sure that those can be shrunk. Best to find you a gynocologist and get their advice on what to do.

I agree....
Your doctor should be able to advise you what would be best, the best way to treat you. I wish you luck finding a competient doctor.

I have fibroids and I also get cysts, too...But I am used to them, just have really intense periods, sometimes hemorhage. Have done some research. There is a surgical procedure now you could check out; instead of a hysterectomy, they implant tiny surgical beads into the veins that feed the fibroids. This robs them of their blood supply, and they atrophy. It is a simple procedure, can be done in a doctors office, and you'll be able to carry on normally after just a few hours.
There are some natural remedies you might try. I really believe that liccorice tea has helped me...it is supposed to promote tissue repair. And my multivitamin seems to help, too. Also, for pain, tylenol works, or ibuprophen, or, there is a handheld lazer therapy device that I use, like a tens machine. I got mine from Nikken. You could google that. But now I think you could probably find a cheaper one.
