Uterine Fibroids

Fibroids are very common and often harmless. Many women have them without ever knowing. They only need treatment when they cause symptoms, and even then there are options that protect your uterus and fertility.

What fibroids are

Non cancerous growths in or on the wall of the uterus. They vary widely in size and number, and most cause no trouble at all.

Signs worth checking

Heavy or prolonged periods, pelvic pressure or fullness, frequent urination, pain, and sometimes difficulty conceiving. Symptoms, not the fibroids themselves, decide whether treatment is needed.

How it is treated

Small, symptom free fibroids are usually just monitored. When treatment is needed, medication can ease symptoms and a myomectomy can remove fibroids while keeping the uterus intact, often through keyhole surgery.

How Dr. Rekha can help

When surgery is needed, smaller is almost always better. Keyhole techniques mean tiny incisions, less pain, a shorter hospital stay and a quicker return to normal life. Dr. Rekha uses these approaches wherever they are the safe and sensible choice.

Frequently asked

Uterine Fibroids: quick answers

Do fibroids turn into cancer?

It is extremely rare for a fibroid to be cancerous. The vast majority are entirely benign, which is why monitoring is often all that is required.

Can fibroids be removed without removing the uterus?

Yes. A myomectomy removes the fibroids while preserving the uterus, which is the preferred approach for women who may want to conceive.
