Uterine Fibroids Treatment in Noida

Uterine fibroids are benign growths that develop in or around the uterus. They differ in size and number for different women. Some women remain asymptomatic while others may feel some discomfort. Fibroids are more common in women aged 30 to 50 years and can impact their fertility, menstrual cycle and reproductive health, if they significantly grow in size.

Basis their location in the uterus, uterine fibroids can be categorised into the following types.

• Intramural Fibroids – These fibroids grow within the muscular wall of the uterus and are the most common type. They can cause heavier periods, pelvic pain, and pressure symptoms as they grow larger.
• Submucosal Fibroids – Located just beneath the inner lining of the uterus, these fibroids can protrude into the uterine cavity. Even small submucosal fibroids can lead to heavy menstrual bleeding and fertility issues.
• Subserosal Fibroids – These fibroids form on the outer surface of the uterus and may grow outward. While they usually do not affect menstrual flow, they can cause pelvic pressure, bloating, or discomfort if they are large in size.
• Pedunculated Fibroids – Attached to the uterus by a thin stalk, these fibroids can grow either inside or outside the uterus. They may cause sudden pain if the stalk twists, cutting off blood supply to the fibroid, a condition called torsion.

The exact cause of uterine fibroids is not known but there are a number of factors that are believed to contribute to the development of these fibroids.

• Hormonal imbalance: High levels of estrogen and progesterone can lead to the formation of fibroids.
• Genetic predisposition: If someone in your family has or had uterine fibroids, this increases the risk for you.
• Lifestyle factors: Obesity, poor diet, and lack of physical activity may also contribute to the growth of fibroids.
• Other conditions: Early menstruation or the use of certain birth control types are also believed to be a reason.

Based on the size, location and number of fibroids, the symptoms can vary. Common ones are:

• Heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding
• Pelvic pain or pressure
• Frequent urination or difficulty emptying the bladder
• Pain during intercourse
• Lower back pain
• Difficulty in getting pregnant

Though uterine fibroids are harmless growths in most cases, if left untreated, they may cause some complications like

• Anaemia due to heavy bleeding
• Infertility or miscarriage
• Chronic pelvic pain
• Pressure on the bladder or rectum
• Pregnancy-related risks (preterm birth, breech position)

At Birla Fertility & IVF, Noida, we use advanced and accurate diagnostic methods to evaluate the size, location, and number of fibroids, ensuring the most suitable treatment plan.

• Pelvic Examination – A physical examination to feel for any irregularities or enlargement in the uterus is usually the first approach to check for fibroids.
• Ultrasound (Transvaginal or Abdominal) – A safe and non-invasive imaging test that provides real-time visuals of the uterus to identify fibroids and their location.
• MRI Scans – Used for detailed imaging when fibroids are large or multiple, helping map their exact size and position in the uterus.
• Hysteroscopy or Laparoscopy – Minimally invasive procedures that allow direct visualisation of the uterus from inside or outside for accurate diagnosis are often used before surgery.

A precise diagnosis allows us to offer the best treatment for fibroids, aligned with your health and fertility goals.

1. Medicines

For small and asymptomatic fibroids, medicines are the first choice of treatment. Hormone therapies such as birth control pills, Gnrh agonists and progestin-releasing IUDs can provide some relief from heavy bleeding and pelvic pain. However, this relief is not permanent and the medicines do not shrink or dissolve the fibroids.

2. Laparoscopic Myomectomy

A minimally invasive surgical procedure for fibroid removal in which tiny incisions are made in the abdomen is called as laparoscopic myomectomy. The good thing about this procedure is, it preserves the uterus which makes it suitable for women who wish to bear children after treatment. This procedure provides patients with benefits like minimum blood loss, shorter hospital stays and faster postoperative recovery when compared to traditional open surgical approaches.

3. Hysteroscopic Myomectomy

This procedure is done without any external incisions by passing a hysteroscope through the cervix into the uterus. It is most suitable for submucosal fibroids that extend into the uterine cavity. It improves fertility and eliminates abnormal bleeding, with little time needed to recover and no visible scarring.

4. Hysterectomy

A surgical procedure where the complete uterus is removed is known as hysterectomy.  This treatment option is mostly suggested to women with large or multiple recurring fibroids and who do not want pregnancy in the future. It can be done abdominally, laparoscopically or vaginally depending on the case and provides permanent relief from fibroid symptoms such as heavy bleeding, pelvic pain or pressure.

Before fibroid treatment or surgery, patients are advised to follow the following guidelines.

• Share complete medical history and current medications.
• Undergo required blood and imaging tests, as prescribed by your doctor.
• Fast for 6–8 hours before surgery (if recommended).
• Avoid certain medications (like blood thinners) before surgery.

Post-surgery care is important for a smooth and fast recovery. Below are some tips to follow.

• Take prescribed medications on time.
