What is the treatment for Fibroids, and if surgery is it invasive and how long is recovery?

There are several treatments for fibroids including medical (hormonal or not), radiological (focussed ultrasound or embolization) and surgical (transcervical, keyhole and open surgery) methods.
The recovery for the three operations is 1-2 weeks, 2-4 weeks and 4-6 weeks respectively.

Hello

Treatment very much depends on the size, number and site of the fibroids within the uterus and also whether you've completed your family has an important bearing on treatment as some have a small risk of hysterectomy.

If you'd like to expand I'd be happy to give you more advice
