Fibroids

Welcome to Samyam Fertility and Medical Center, where we specialize in providing comprehensive care for individuals with fibroids. Fibroids, also known as uterine leiomyomas, are noncancerous growths that develop in the uterus and affect millions of women worldwide. These benign tumors can vary in size, number, and location within the uterus, and may cause a range of symptoms that can impact fertility, menstrual health, and overall well-being. Our dedicated team of gynecologists, fertility specialists, and reproductive endocrinologists is committed to offering personalized care, advanced treatments, and compassionate support to help individuals manage their fibroids and achieve optimal uterine health.

Understanding Fibroids:

Fibroids are benign tumors that develop from the smooth muscle tissue of the uterus, also known as the myometrium. These growths can vary in size, ranging from small, pea-sized nodules to large masses that can distort the shape and size of the uterus. Fibroids can develop as a single growth or as multiple growths, and may be located within the uterine wall (intramural fibroids), protrude into the uterine cavity (submucosal fibroids), or extend outward from the uterine wall (subserosal fibroids).

Key Components of Fibroid Management:

• Comprehensive Evaluation: The first step in managing fibroids is a comprehensive evaluation by a gynecologist or reproductive endocrinologist specializing in fibroid treatment. Our team conducts a thorough medical history, physical examination, and diagnostic tests to assess the size, location, and number of fibroids, as well as their impact on reproductive health and overall well-being.

• Symptom Management: Fibroids can cause a range of symptoms, including heavy menstrual bleeding (menorrhagia), pelvic pain or pressure, urinary frequency or urgency, constipation, and infertility. Treatment options for fibroid-related symptoms may include medication to alleviate pain or reduce bleeding, hormonal therapy to shrink fibroids, or minimally invasive procedures to remove or destroy fibroids.

• Uterine Preservation: For individuals seeking to preserve fertility or avoid hysterectomy (surgical removal of the uterus), uterine-preserving treatments may be recommended. These treatments aim to shrink or remove fibroids while preserving the uterus and fertility potential. Options may include uterine artery embolization (UAE), magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS), or minimally invasive surgical techniques such as myomectomy.

• Fertility Optimization: Fibroids can impact fertility by affecting the shape, size, and function of the uterus, as well as interfering with implantation or causing miscarriage. Our fertility specialists offer personalized treatment plans to optimize fertility outcomes for individuals with fibroids, including surgical removal of fibroids (myomectomy), fertility-sparing procedures, and assisted reproductive technologies (ART) such as in vitro fertilization (IVF).

• Surgical Intervention: In cases where conservative treatments are ineffective or if fibroids are causing severe symptoms or complications, surgical intervention may be recommended. Hysterectomy, or surgical removal of the uterus, may be considered for individuals who have completed their family or do not wish to preserve fertility. Our team offers minimally invasive surgical techniques such as laparoscopic or robotic-assisted hysterectomy to minimize recovery time and reduce postoperative complications.

Benefits of Fibroid Management:

Managing fibroids offers several important benefits for individuals’ health and well-being:

• Symptom Relief: Fibroid management aims to alleviate symptoms such as heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, and urinary symptoms, improving quality of life and overall well-being for individuals with fibroids.
• Preservation of Fertility: Uterine-preserving treatments and fertility-sparing options help individuals preserve fertility potential and achieve their reproductive goals, even in the presence of fibroids.
• Optimized Reproductive Outcomes: Fibroid management can improve fertility outcomes by addressing fibroid-related factors that may impact fertility, such as uterine shape, size, and function, and optimizing conditions for successful conception and pregnancy.
