<unk>  is used to treat bothersome bulk-related symptoms or abnormal or heavy uterine bleeding due to uterine fibroids or for the treatment of adenomyosis. Fibroid size, number, and location are three potential predictors of a successful outcome. Long-term patient satisfaction outcomes are similar to that of surgery. There is tentative evidence that traditional surgery may result in better fertility.<unk>  also appears to require more repeat procedures than if surgery was done initially. It has shorter recovery times.<unk>  is thought to work because uterine fibroids have abnormal vasculature together with aberrant responses to hypoxia (inadequate oxygenation to tissues).<unk>  can also be used to control heavy uterine bleeding for reasons other than fibroids, such as postpartum obstetrical hemorrhage. and adenomyosis. According to the American Journal of Gynecology,<unk>  costs 12% less than hysterectomy and 8% less than myomectomy.
