Uterine Fibroids
Uterine fibroids, also known as uterine leiomyomas, are noncancerous growths that can develop on the uterine wall. They are commonly discovered during routine hysterectomy procedures, but can also be detected through a routine ultrasound. The most common symptom of uterine fibroids is heavy menstrual bleeding , which can be caused by the pressure of the fibroids on the surrounding blood vessels. Other symptoms may include abdominal pain, especially during menstruation, and frequency and urgency of urination. Uterine fibroids are typically treated with a combination of medication and surgery. The goal of treatment is to relieve symptoms and improve quality of life. In some cases, a hysterectomy may be necessary to remove the fibroids. If you think you may have uterine fibroids, it is important to speak with your healthcare provider. They can perform a thorough evaluation and recommend the most appropriate treatment options.
