Well, there are. All the time, we're getting less and less invasive in our treatments for fibroids just like in other areas of medicine.
There is a very interesting approach using focused beam of ultrasound energy, called MRI-guided focused ultrasound.
It's a really good local treatment for fibroids where they can completely be noninvasive and target the fibroid with a beam
of ultrasonic energy. But, again, it's really for one fibroid or a couple of small fibroids. That's a very novel approach.
There are some oral therapies that are in trials right now, looking at to be able to use. But, again, it weights more study.
