Fibroid Treatment
Fibroids, also known as uterine leiomyomas, are non-cancerous growths in the uterus that affect many women during their reproductive years. Dr. Deepa Ganji, an experienced Obstetrician and Gynaecologist in Begumpet, offers expert care and treatment for women suffering from fibroids, ensuring they receive the best possible care for a healthy, pain-free life.
What are Fibroids?
Fibroids are benign (non-cancerous) tumours made up of muscle and fibrous tissue that grow in or around the uterus. They vary in size, from tiny seeds to large masses that can distort the shape of the uterus. While many women with fibroids do not experience symptoms, others may suffer from pain, heavy bleeding, and fertility problems.
Symptoms of Fibroids
Common signs of fibroids include:
Heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding
Pelvic pain or pressure
Frequent urination or difficulty emptying the bladder
Pain during intercourse
Lower back pain
Abdominal bloating or swelling
How Dr. Deepa Ganji Treats Fibroids
Dr. Deepa offers a range of effective treatments, tailored to the size, location, and symptoms of the fibroids, as well as the patient’s health and reproductive goals.
Medical Management
Medications: Dr. Deepa may recommend medications like GnRH agonists, progestins, or IUDs to control bleeding and shrink fibroids.
Pain management: Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) or hormonal treatments to reduce pain and discomfort.
Minimally Invasive Surgery (Laparoscopy)
If fibroids cause significant symptoms or complications, laparoscopic surgery may be recommended. Dr. Deepa performs:
Myomectomy: Surgical removal of the fibroids while preserving the uterus, ideal for women who wish to maintain fertility.
Hysteroscopic Myomectomy: For fibroids inside the uterine cavity, Dr. Deepa uses a minimally invasive procedure through the cervix to remove them.
Uterine Artery Embolization (UAE)
For larger fibroids that cannot be easily removed through surgery, UAE is a non-surgical procedure that blocks the blood supply to the fibroids, causing them to shrink over time.
Hysterectomy
In cases where fibroids are very large or cause severe symptoms, hysterectomy (removal of the uterus) may be considered as a last resort, particularly if the woman has completed her family planning.
