If you’re experiencing symptoms of fibroids or have been diagnosed with them, discuss your treatment options with a gynecologist. Surgery may be the right step toward improving your health and well-being.
What Are Uterine Fibroids?
Uterine fibroids are non-cancerous growths that develop in or on the uterus. They are common in women of reproductive age and can vary in size. While many women have no symptoms, fibroids can sometimes cause problems such as heavy periods, pelvic pain, frequent urination, or difficulty getting pregnant.
When is Surgery Needed?
Fibroid surgery is usually recommended when:
You have heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding.
You experience severe pelvic pain or pressure.
Fibroids are affecting your fertility or pregnancy.
Other treatments (like medication) have not worked.
