Uterine fibroids are benign tumors of the smooth muscle that makes up most of the uterus. They are mostly found incidently duiring a routine ultrasound, and don’t cause much of a problem. If they are large or numerous however they may cause pain and heavy periods.
Since the surgery to remove them may interfere with your ability to become pregnant, surgery is only recommended for severe cases in women who definitelly are finished with having a family. There is a newer, non-surgical technique called embolization. With this, the blood supple to the fibroid is plugged, and they just shrink.
On a review of Cochrane and PubMed, there is no "alternative" technique that has been shown to work.
