Fibroids

Uterine fibroids can be effectively managed through a range of treatment options. At Balaji Horizon Women’s Hospital, our experienced gynecologists tailor personalized treatment plans to address the unique needs of each patient.

Watchful Waiting: For small fibroids that are not causing symptoms, a watchful waiting approach may be recommended, with regular monitoring to track any changes.

Medications: Pain Relief: Over-the-counter pain relievers or prescription medications can help alleviate pain and discomfort associated with fibroids.

Hormonal Therapies: Birth control pills, hormonal patches, or other medications can help regulate hormonal fluctuations and manage symptoms.

Minimally Invasive Procedures: Uterine Artery Embolization (UAE): This non-surgical procedure involves blocking the blood supply to the fibroids, causing them to shrink.

MRI-guided Focused Ultrasound Surgery (FUS): Using focused ultrasound waves to heat and destroy the fibroids without surgery.

Surgical Interventions: Myomectomy: Removal of the fibroids while preserving the uterus, often recommended for women who wish to conceive.

Hysterectomy: Removal of the uterus, considered for women who have completed their family planning or have severe symptoms.

Fertility Preservation: For women planning to conceive, our team provides fertility-preserving options and collaborates with fertility specialists to optimize the chances of a successful pregnancy.

While the exact cause of uterine fibroids remains unclear, certain lifestyle choices and health practices may contribute to reducing the risk of their development. At Balaji Horizon Women’s Hospital, we advocate for proactive women’s health.

Maintain a Healthy Weight:

• Balanced Diet: Adopt a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Limit the intake of processed foods and focus on a well-rounded, nutritious diet.
• Regular Exercise: Engage in regular physical activity, such as brisk walking or moderate-intensity exercises, to maintain a healthy weight.

Manage Hormonal Health:

• Birth Control Options: Discuss with your healthcare provider about suitable birth control options, as certain hormonal contraceptives may help regulate menstrual cycles.
• Hormone Therapy: If prescribed, follow hormone therapy as directed by your healthcare professional.

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding:

• Early Pregnancy: Women who have given birth may have a lower risk of developing fibroids. Aim for early and planned pregnancies when family planning aligns.
• Breastfeeding: If possible, consider breastfeeding, as it has been associated with a reduced risk of uterine fibroids.

Regular Health Check-ups:

• Routine Gynecological Exams: Schedule regular gynecological check-ups to monitor reproductive health and address any concerns promptly.
