Uterine fibroids are benign (non-cancerous) tumors made up of muscle and fibrous tissue that develop within the walls of the uterus. They are one of the most common gynecological conditions in women of reproductive age. While some fibroids remain small and cause no noticeable symptoms, others can grow larger or multiply, leading to heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding, pelvic pressure or pain, frequent urination, constipation, or even difficulty conceiving or maintaining a pregnancy.
The exact cause of fibroids is not fully understood, but factors such as age (typically 30s–40s), family history, hormonal fluctuations (especially estrogen and progesterone), and lifestyle or dietary habits can increase the risk. Fibroids are usually diagnosed through pelvic examinations, ultrasound scans, or more advanced imaging like MRI, depending on the size and location of the growths.
Treatment for uterine fibroids is highly personalized. For women with mild symptoms, hormonal medications may help manage bleeding and pain. For those with more severe or persistent symptoms, surgical options such as myomectomy (fibroid removal) or hysterectomy (uterus removal) may be recommended. At Dr. Pavani Gynae Care Clinic, we specialize in both laparoscopic and open surgical treatments, providing advanced care tailored to each woman’s reproductive goals and overall health needs.
