There was a time when almost all women with symptomatic leiomyomas were amenable to hysterectomy or myomectomy when medical therapy failed to relieve their pelvic pressure and pain, menorrhagia, and, in many cases, anemia.

Today, that has changed.

They go to the Internet and easily click on the names of 1,000 radiologists who promise a nonsurgical alternative that will "melt away" their fibroids.
