Overview

Uterine fibroids, also known as leiomyomas or myomas, are common non-cancerous growths affecting women of childbearing age. Fibroids can be as small as a seed or large enough to distort the uterus, often without causing any symptoms. Many women discover fibroids incidentally during a routine pelvic exam or ultrasound.

Diagnosis of Uterine Fibroids

Diagnosing uterine fibroids at Sarvodaya Hospital is thorough and patient-centred, ensuring clarity and comfort at every step. Our approach leverages advanced tools and the expertise of uterine fibroid specialists in Delhi NCR to deliver accurate results.

• Review of symptoms and medical history: We start by discussing your symptoms, menstrual patterns, and health background to identify any fibroid-related concerns.

• Pelvic examination: A gentle pelvic check can often detect an enlarged or irregular uterus, pointing toward possible fibroids.

• Pelvic ultrasound (primary imaging tool): Ultrasound is the first choice for visualising fibroids, revealing their size, number, and exact location in the uterus.

• Blood tests: Blood tests help identify anaemia from heavy bleeding or rule out related conditions.

• Differential diagnosis to rule out other pelvic masses: Your doctor evaluates for other potential causes of symptoms, ensuring the most accurate diagnosis before moving to the best treatment for fibroids.

Treatment Options & Technology for Uterine Fibroids

• Observation for asymptomatic/small fibroids: Small fibroids that cause no symptoms often require only regular monitoring and reassurance; no immediate intervention is needed.

• Hormonal therapy: Hormonal options can control heavy bleeding, reduce pain, and shrink fibroid size for many women.

• Non-hormonal options: These medicines help manage pain and excessive bleeding, especially for those unable to use hormones.

• MRI-guided focused ultrasound surgery: A non-invasive option using focused ultrasound energy to shrink fibroids under real-time MRI guidance.

• Myomectomy: Surgical removal of fibroids while preserving the uterus, ideal for women wanting to retain fertility. Robotic-assisted myomectomy offers greater precision, minimal scarring, and faster recovery.

• Hysterectomy: Complete removal is reserved for women with severe symptoms or fibroids unresponsive to other therapies.
