A 30-year-old woman with fibroids presents to her GP complaining of heavy menstrual bleeding. She has tried ibuprofen and hormonal IUDs, which somewhat helped, but now wishes to start family planning. She believes that taking out the IUD will make her bleeding worse, but she knows she cannot conceive with it in place. She has heard that she could have surgery to remove the fibroids, which she hopes will also make her chances of conceiving better. What would be the best surgical option for this woman?
