Dealing with Fibroids: Seeking Alternatives to Birth Control and Hysterectomy

Hi, I have a few small fibroids per my last sonogram about a year ago. Even though they few and small (according to the doctor) they are causing ALOT of bleeding almost like hemorrhaging. However I don't have any anemia or nothing significant came up nor high blood pressure. Also, the birth control she gave me made me terribly sick so she said I could stop. Every time I exercise it causes bleeding to start, or get worse, my bleeding really doesn't ever stop. I started taking ashwagandha and that seemed to help for a while and then stopped. I am now trying fish oil and green tea extract. I am looking for options and suggestions other than birth control or hysterectomy. I also want to stay away from the procedure that uses a catheter through your vein/artery? Any suggestions or helpful information would be amazing feeling hopeful, refusing to quit exercising since I need to lose weight, desperate for answers

I kept going to the doctor for digestive issues. Nothing was found. Then finally I went to the gynecologist to replace my iud. Turns out My fibroid tumors (which were the reason I got an iud) had grown and a hysterectomy was recommended. I’m relieved that the issue was diagnosed but I am scared about the surgery. I would love to speak to someone that has been through it.
