Uterine Fibroid Treatment in Attibele, Bangalore

Two opposite mistakes are made with fibroids, and both are common. The first is treating a fibroid because it exists — operating on a small, symptomless fibroid found incidentally on a scan, when watchful waiting would have been correct. The second is dismissing years of heavy bleeding as ordinary periods until a woman is significantly anaemic and exhausted. The size on the report matters far less than what the fibroid is doing to you.

Fibroids are benign muscular growths in the uterine wall, and they are extremely common — a large proportion of women have them by their forties, most without ever knowing. They matter when they cause heavy or prolonged periods, pressure on the bladder causing frequent urination, a feeling of fullness or a visibly distended abdomen, pain during intercourse, back or leg discomfort, or difficulty conceiving and recurrent miscarriage when they distort the uterine cavity. Position matters more than size: a small submucosal fibroid inside the cavity can cause far more bleeding and fertility trouble than a large one sitting on the outer wall.

Dr. Sanjana L — MBBS, MS (OBG) Gold Medalist (RGUHS), FMAS — assesses and treats fibroids at Raghava Multispeciality Hospital in Attibele. Assessment covers the symptom picture, haemoglobin, and an ultrasound mapping number, size and position, with hysteroscopy where the cavity needs a direct look. Treatment then ranges from monitoring, to medical management of bleeding and correction of anaemia, to hysteroscopic removal of a submucosal fibroid, to laparoscopic myomectomy that removes the fibroids while preserving the uterus. Whether you still want children is part of that decision, and it should be asked before the plan is made rather than after.
