Personalised Gynaecology Care
Uterine fibroids, also known as leiomyomas or myomas, are common growths that develop in or around the uterus. They are usually non-cancerous. Fibroids can vary in size, number and location, and some do not cause any noticeable symptoms.
Best Uterine Fibroid Treatment in Chennai depends on a careful assessment of how the fibroids affect your health and daily life. Some fibroids can be monitored, while others may need medication, a procedure or surgery depending on their characteristics and your symptoms.
At a consultation with Dr. Shruthi Sreedhar at Ojas Health, Royapettah, Chennai, you can discuss your symptoms, scan findings and possible next steps for your care.
Fibroids may contribute to heavier menstrual bleeding or periods that last longer than usual.
Depending on their size and location, fibroids may cause pelvic discomfort, abdominal pressure or lower back pain.
Larger fibroids may press on the bladder and cause urinary frequency or pressure symptoms.
Some fibroids can contribute to a feeling of fullness or enlargement in the lower abdomen.
Some people experience more noticeable period pain or cramping associated with fibroids.
Fibroids are sometimes discovered during a routine examination or imaging test performed for another reason.
Symptoms and Assessment
A gynaecological assessment may be helpful if you notice symptoms such as:
Symptoms alone cannot confirm that fibroids are the cause. A clinical assessment can help distinguish fibroids from other conditions that may produce similar symptoms.
Evaluation depends on your symptoms, examination findings and medical history. It may include:
Fibroids can develop within the uterine wall, project into the uterine cavity or grow on the outer surface. Their location, size and symptoms help guide treatment decisions.
Diagnosis and Planning
Planning the best uterine fibroid treatment in Chennai involves understanding the clinical findings and discussing the available options with your gynaecologist.
Review bleeding patterns, pelvic symptoms, medical history, current medication and any effect on your everyday life.
Assess ultrasound or other scan findings, including the number, size and position of fibroids.
Discuss whether monitoring, medication, a procedure or surgery may be appropriate for your situation.
Agree on an appropriate review plan to monitor symptoms and determine whether further care is needed.
Treatment Options
Fibroid treatment is individualised. Not every fibroid requires treatment, particularly when it causes no symptoms. Depending on the clinical assessment, options may include:
The choice of treatment depends on the symptoms, fibroid size and location, age, overall health, response to previous treatment and personal preferences.
For people who wish to preserve the uterus or consider future pregnancy, these preferences should be discussed before choosing a procedure. Different treatments have different benefits, limitations and implications.
Where fibroids are associated with heavy periods, treatment may include suitable medication and assessment for iron deficiency or anaemia. The plan should also address the underlying fibroid findings where necessary.
There is no single treatment that is best for every patient. A consultation helps clarify the options that are suitable for your individual condition.
