How do the recovery times and complications compare between HIFU and myomectomy? Researchers will compare the outcomes of women receiving HIFU treatment to those undergoing myomectomy to see if HIFU offers similar or better results with fewer complications.\n\nParticipants will:\n\nUndergo an initial medical assessment, including ultrasounds and blood tests.
