Uterine FIbroids

Uterine Fibroids: Understanding and Treatment at YNB Health Care

Uterine fibroids, also known as Rasoli in Hindi, are non-cancerous tumors that grow in or around the uterus. They are quite common, affecting a large number of women, especially between the ages of 30 to 50. While many women may experience uterine fibroids without symptoms, others may face discomfort, heavy menstrual bleeding, or complications with fertility. Understanding fibroids, their symptoms, causes, risk factors, and treatment options can help women make informed decisions about their health.

What are Uterine Fibroids?

Uterine fibroids are benign growths that develop in or on the wall of the uterus. They vary in size, from tiny seedlings to large masses that can distort the shape of the uterus. Fibroids can grow within the uterine muscle (intramural fibroids), on the outside of the uterus (subserosal fibroids), or inside the uterine cavity (submucosal fibroids). Despite their size and location, fibroids are usually painless and do not always show symptoms. However, when symptoms do occur, they can significantly impact a woman's quality of life, leading to symptoms like heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pressure, frequent urination, and lower back pain.

Diagnosis and Treatment at YNB Health Care

At YNB Health Care, we offer a comprehensive approach to diagnosing and treating uterine fibroids. Our team of highly experienced gynecologists uses the latest diagnostic tools to accurately detect the presence, size, and location of fibroids. Common diagnostic methods include pelvic ultrasounds, CT scans, MRIs, and hysteroscopy. Once diagnosed, we provide personalized treatment plans tailored to the severity of your condition, your symptoms, and your future reproductive goals.

Medical Treatments for Uterine Fibroids:

Treatment for uterine fibroids generally falls into two categories: medication and surgical interventions. The approach depends on factors such as the size and number of fibroids, the severity of symptoms, and the woman's age.

Medications: In certain cases, fibroids can be managed with medication. Options include:

Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists: These drugs help shrink fibroids by suppressing estrogen and progesterone production.
Tranexamic acid: This medication reduces heavy menstrual bleeding.
NSAIDs: Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs can help relieve pain but don't affect the fibroids' size.

Surgical Treatments: When medication does not provide sufficient relief, surgical options may be recommended. YNB Health Care offers advanced, minimally invasive procedures, including:

Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA): A procedure that uses heat to shrink fibroids.
Hysteroscopic Myomectomy: A surgery that removes fibroids using a hysteroscope.
Endometrial Ablation: A procedure that destroys the lining of the uterus to control bleeding.
MRI-guided Focused Ultrasound Surgery (FUS): A non-invasive treatment using focused ultrasound waves to target and destroy fibroids.
