Uterine Fibroid Treatment in Raebareli
Uterine fibroids are common, non-cancerous growths that develop in or around the womb (uterus). Many women have fibroids without symptoms, but some experience heavy periods, pelvic pain, or pressure symptoms. At Mithila Women's Hospital in Raebareli, Dr. Shilpi Singh provides diagnosis and individualised treatment for fibroids, ranging from monitoring to medication and surgical options when needed.
What are uterine fibroids?
Fibroids are growths made of muscle and fibrous tissue that form in the wall of the uterus. They are very common, especially during the reproductive years, and are almost always non-cancerous. Fibroids vary widely in size and number. Many cause no symptoms at all and need no treatment. When they do cause problems, symptoms can include heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain or pressure, a feeling of fullness in the lower abdomen, frequent urination, lower back discomfort, and sometimes difficulty conceiving. The right approach depends on the fibroids' size and location and on your symptoms and plans for pregnancy.
When should you see a doctor?
You should see a doctor if you have very heavy or prolonged periods, bleeding between periods, persistent pelvic pain or pressure, a noticeable swelling in the lower abdomen, frequent urination, or difficulty becoming pregnant. Heavy bleeding can also lead to anaemia, causing tiredness and weakness, which is another reason to seek care. Fibroids are usually diagnosed through a pelvic examination and an ultrasound scan, which help determine their size, number, and position so the most suitable treatment can be discussed.
Our approach at Mithila Women's Hospital
Dr. Shilpi Singh tailors fibroid care to each woman's symptoms and circumstances. If fibroids are small and not causing problems, careful monitoring may be all that is needed. Where treatment is required, options may include medication to manage heavy bleeding and symptoms, or surgical treatment in appropriate cases. We take time to explain the condition, the available options, and how each one might affect future fertility, so you can make an informed decision. Care is provided with sensitivity and clear communication at every step.
