UTERINE FIBROIDS are benign (non cancerous) growths that occur within the smooth muscle of the uterus (the myometrium). Typically, UTERINE FIBROIDS are slow growing, benign tumors with the potential of causing pain and stress for women in their childbearing ages.

Our Fibroids treatment plan will depend on factors, including:
• How many fibroids you have
• The size of your fibroids
• Where your fibroids are located
• What symptoms you are experiencing related to the fibroids
• Your desire for pregnancy
• Your desire for uterine preservation

Who is at risk for uterine FIBROIDS?
There are several risk factors that can play a role in your chances of developing fibroids. These can include:
• Obesity and a higher body weight (more than 20% over the weight that's considered healthy for you)
• Family history of fibroids
• Not having children
• Early onset of menstruation (getting your period at a young age)
• Late age for menopause

Most FIBROIDS do not cause any symptoms and don’t require treatment other than regular observation by your healthcare provider.
• Excessive or painful bleeding during your period (menstruation)
• Bleeding between your periods
• Chronic vaginal discharge
• Irregular menstrual cycle
• Anemia (low blood count)
• Pelvic pain
• Pelvic or vaginal pressure
• Abdominal cramping
• Abdominal distention
• A feeling of fullness in your lower abdomen/bloating
• Frequent urination (this can happen when a fibroid puts pressure on your bladder)
• Pain during sex
• Low back pain
• Constipation
• Inability to urinate or completely empty your bladder
• Increased abdominal distention (enlargement), causing your abdomen to look pregnant

We offer advanced medical solutions to women suffering from uterine fibroids, endometriosis, total laparoscopic hysterectomy, complicated pregnancy and bad obstetric history conditions, fertility and infertility management, and adenomyiosis and pain condition.

It is important to talk to your healthcare provider about any medication you take. Always consult your doctor before starting a new medication to discuss any possible complications.
