There is such a thing called a myeomectomy if you want to save the uterus and have kids. I think they can do it either by laporoscopy or an abdominal incision. My fibroids however weren’t to big to prevent my babies from developing. I did get diagnosed later on with adenomyosis and had a total hysterectomy keeping both ovaries. There are non-surgical ways to help get rid of fibroids and one I think of is called UAE or uterine artery embolization but the only way to be able to have kids after a fibroid is removed is by a myomectomy since the other procedures don’t usually recommend that you want to become pregnant afterwards.
You should still see an OBGYN for fibroids on the outside of the uterus cause the uterus is a part of the reproductive system.
Gynocologist.
I have the same problem right now.
