978-0-8018-8700-0 (ISBN)
In addition to hysterectomy, she explains uterine artery embolization (UAE), noninvasive focused ultrasound (FUS), and innovative hormone treatments. Simple diagrams and photographs illustrate the condition-and its treatment. Dr. Stewart encourages women with fibroids to learn as much as they can before choosing a treatment plan. Providing the most reliable and up-to-date information on this very common and difficult disorder, she helps women understand uterine fibroids and make the best possible choices about their care.
Elizabeth A. Stewart, M.D., is a professor of obstetrics and gynecology at the Mayo Clinic College of Medicine in Rochester, Minnesota.
